The British people celebrate
Guy Fawkes’ Day on the 5th of November.

That day in 1605 some conspirators
wanted to blow up the Houses of
Parliament and kill King James I and
his ministers. Guy Fawkes was one of them.

In 1605, King James I was on the throne. He was a Protestant and hated Catholics... and Catholics hated him. James had ordered all Catholic priests to leave the country and wouldn't allow Catholics to worship as they pleased.

James took the Scottish throne when he was just a year old, and was known as James VI of Scotland. When Elizabeth I died, he took the English throne as well as the Scottish one. He was the first monarch to rule both countries but he was known as James I of England.

.

Guy Fawkes and some of his friends decided to do away with the King and the Members of Parliament who were making life difficult for Catholics.

To carry out their plan, the plotters got hold of 36 barrels of gunpowder and rolled them into the cellar, just under the House of Lords. The idea was to set off the gunpowder as soon as the King opened the new session of Parliament on the fifth of November, 1605.

.

In the early hours of the fifth of November, Guy Fawkes, who was hiding in the cellar with the 36 barrels of gunpowder, was arrested and taken to the Tower of London

.

At the Tower he was tortured: he was hung by his wrists in manacles and stretched on the rack. Forty eight hours later, and with a broken body, he confessed that he was going to blow up Parliament.

.

But he bravely refused to give away the names of his friends until he learned that they were no secret to the government, and that some of the plotters had already been killed.
Guy Fawkes was finally executed on January 31st, 1606 in the Old Palace Yard at Westminster. After he was
hanged, he was drawn
through the streets of
London behind a horse
cart. Then he was
chopped into 'quarters'.

.

Other members of the group were also hunted down, tortured and executed in the same manner. Since then the dummy of poor Guy Fawkes is burnt every fifth of November on bonfires throughout Britain.

.

The cellars where Guy Fawkes was captured are still searched before each opening of Parliament, and on the evening of November 4th each year. This is a spectacular ceremony and everything is done just as it was done almost four centuries ago.

On the 5th of November when it gets dark ,
people go out the street and watch beautiful
fireworks.

In the country they
often make
big bonfires and
gather near them.
