GUY FAWKES NIGHT                           

 

November 5th is Guy Fawkes night in England.

It is a happy evening when people make wood fires, called bonfires, in their gardens. 

On top of the bonfire, the children put the figure of a man.

They make it out of straw, newspapers, and old clothes and they burn it. 

They also buy fireworks but they must be very careful because there are many accidents.

It is called a "Guy". Do you know why?                

Because of Guy Fawkes' attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. 

But he was arrested and executed.

It was a Catholic rebellion against King James I, a protestant.
