Why the pumpkin is a symbol of Halloween?

Why magpie?
Because I wanted to illustrate that bird along with the pumpkin and bring my own October’s atmosphere into it.
“Symbolically, the pumpkin is often linked to rebirth and fertility, and they also symbolize harvests and crops. They fit the season in which Halloween falls every year. For those who go ‘trick or treating’, a luminous pumpkin on the stairs is the symbol that those who live there want a visit.”
