Children still dress as monsters and ask everyone for candy or try to scare them. Later, children would put on these masks and dress up as monsters then visit their neighbor's houses to ask for candy.įirst it was only the game of a few children, but over time a custom developed and now the day is set in the calendar as Pumpkin Festival. Everyone put on these pumpkin masks and gathered to enjoy a friendly chat and some delicious pumpkin dishes. When the leaders at the Eye of Wisdom heard of this, they marked this day as a day of celebration so that the people could take a rest before the hard winter. There was a great shortage of lumber, a farmer used a pumpkin to carve a mask like these and then when he put a candle inside, it seemed to come to life.
When the Eye of Wisdom first came to Candara, the land was very underdeveloped.
