All Hallows' Eve: Pumpkin Carvings

🎃✝️ Long before jack-o’-lanterns became Halloween décor, carved turnips and gourds were part of older Christian customs surrounding All Hallows’ Eve. Used to hold candles during vigils and “souling,” they became tied to prayers for the faithful departed and the souls in Purgatory. This design reclaims that forgotten connection with crosses shining through the darkness—Christ is our Light.
