253. Remember the 5th of November

English Christians "Remember, remember, the 5th of November.” Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night celebrates the capture of Fawkes (1570-1606), a Catholic, who was apprehended under the British Houses of Parliament with 36 barrels of gunpowder, fuses and matches, planning to blow up Protestant King James I and his entire Parliament, which would have severely altered the course of faith and religion in Great Britain. Every year, people across the United Kingdom light fireworks and bonfires to commemorate the events of November 5th, 1605.
