. So we will start with ‘Guy Fawkes night’. What’s it all about? Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated in Britain annually on November 5th. The event is accompanied by firework displays, the lighting of bonfires, the ceremonial effigy-burning of one Guy Fawkes, and the rhyme “remember remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot”.
The origin of this celebration stems from events which took place in 1605 and was a conspiracy known as "The Gunpowder Plot," intended to take place on November 5th of that year (the day set for the opening of Parliament). The object of The Gunpowder Plot was to blow up English Parliament along with the ruling monarch, King James I. |
