November, 5th
Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated in Britain annually on November 5th. The celebrations, which in the United Kingdom take place in towns and villages across the country, involve fireworks displays and the building of bonfires, on which "guys", or dummies, representing Guy Fawkes, the most infamous of the conspirators, are traditionally burnt. Before the fifth, children traditionally use the "guys" to beg for money with the chant "Penny for the guy". In recent years the night is becoming increasingly known as "Guy Fawkes Night".

Some words about the origin of Guy Fawkes Night …
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). That day thirteen young men planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament along with the ruling monarch, King James I. Among them was Guy Fawkes, Britain's most notorious traitor.
A modern theory regarding the involvement of Guy Fawkes in the Gunpower Plot is that he was not trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament at all, but merely attempting to assassinate King James who, it was believed, had reneged on his promise to put a stop to the persecution of Catholics.

Traditions of celebrating of Guy Fawkes Night…
In the United Kingdom, there are several other regional traditions that accompany Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night: the eating of bonfire toffee, a dark type of toffee made with black treacle; parkin, a cake made with the same black treacle; toffee apples, the traditional 'apple lollipop', which consists of an apple coated in toffee on top of a stick; and baked potatoes, which are wrapped in foil and cooked in the bonfire or its embers.

The tradition of lighting bonfires on November 5, started the same year as the plot itself. People, happy that the King had been saved, lit bonfires in the streets. Over the years the celebrations became more elaborate, and effigies of Guy Fawkes and even the Pope were added to the top of the fires. Fireworks came a little later. All towns and villages used to have a fire, then the tradition became for people to have private fires and firework displays.

Children make their effigies (or dummies) and parade them in the streets before bonfire night. They ask for "a penny for the Guy" and use the money collected to buy fireworks. Because of increased safety regulations most towns and villages have begun having public bonfires again. These days private bonfires are few and there are not many "Guys" on display in the streets.

This bit comes from http://www.funsocialstudies.learninghav … fawkes.htm

There you can also find a lot of stuff for social studies if you ever think of taking up the teaching job ;)

I don't completely agree with you :rolleyes: because there are different traditions of celebrating (even of the same holiday in different countries)!

Which holiday do you mean?

I am definitely with St@sya in this.

When we compare different countries, we run across three cases:
Case 1: identical things - not the slightest difference
Case 2: similar things - they have something in common, but there are variations - minor or major
Case 3: diverse things - nothing in common, unique stuff

Here is a traditional version of the traditional rhyme everyone knows ...

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

Traditionally the following verse was also sung, but it has fallen out of favour because of its content. ;)

A penny loaf to feed the Pope
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head.
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.
Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah hoorah!  :O
