| About this scrapbook page: |
Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America during Ireland's Great Famine of the 1840s. On All Hallows’ eve, the ancient Celts would place a skeleton on their window sill to represent the departed. Originating in Europe, these lanterns were first carved from a turnip or rutabaga. Believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body, containing the spirit and the knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of the vegetable to frighten off the embodiment of superstitions.

This brought a smile to my face. Luna is so cute tucked up nice and safe in her leaves and quite oblivious to the dangers around her! Thanks again for the info. As Mary says we don't "do" Halloween here in NZ.
