Guy Fawkes Night

I’m going to tell you about other Guy Fawkes Night’s things.

This is Guy Fawkes.

‘Guy’ is derived from his name. This festival is also called ‘Guy Fawkes Day’, ‘Bonfire Night’ and ‘Fireworks Night’. It’s not held in Northern Ireland. In around Wales, he is a convict, but in around Scotland, he is a hero. Parliament decided that every November 5 was a national holiday for thanksgiving the joyful day of deliverance in 1606. This festival is derived from the national holiday. The plot couldn’t be succeeded but after 229 years, on October 16, 1834, big fire broke out in the Houses of Parliament in London. Gunpowder Plot is told by British nursery rhyme.

Remember, remember,
The fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot
We gunpowder treasonShould ever be forgot!
