Guy Fawkes Day - 5th November
The whole UK lighting bonfires and enjoying fireworks… This is how we celebrate Bonfire Night!
Every 5th of November we remember when —in the 17th century— a group of Catholics lead by Guy (Guido) Fawkes planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London with gunpowder.
England was not a Catholic country anymore and protesters were convinced that if they killed King James I and his ministers, they will make Protestantism disappear as well.
Finally, they were discovered, arrested and executed.
