Guy Fawkes Day
Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated on November 5th in England by holding bonfires all across the country. The celebrations usually burn an effigy of Fawkes (a wooden man), have a huge fire, and set off fireworks.
Guy Fawkes is the infamous Brit who in attempted to blow up the British House of Parliment using barrells and barrells of gunpowder. He was stopped, caught and hanged but now lives on every year on Guy Fawkes Day as an excuse to tramp around outside in the cold and rain to see a HUGE fire and a some fireworks.
Monica and I went to the bonfire in Oxford on the Saturday after November 5th. I apologize for the late posting of pictures.
Enjoy!
