  2. The history of Guy Fawkes Day • Guy Fawkes  was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics. They planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne.

  3. The history of Guy Fawkes Day • He hired a cellar under the House of Lords, in which 36 barrels of gunpowder  were secretly stored. On 5 November 1605 Guy Fawkes was caught.

  4. The history of Guy Fawkes day • Since that day on November, 5people celebrate Guy Fawkes Day.

  5. Guy Fawkes Day celebration • The tradition of Guy Fawkes-related bonfires actually began the very same year as the failed coup. The Plot was foiled in the night between the 4th and 5th of November 1605. Already on the 5th, agitated Londoners who knew little more than that their King had been saved, joyfully lit bonfires in thanksgiving. As years progressed, however, the ritual became more elaborate.

  6. Guy Fawkes Day celebration • Soon, people began placing effigies onto bonfires, and fireworks were added to the celebrations. Effigies of Guy Fawkes, and sometimes those of the Pope, graced the pyres. Still today, some communities throw dummies of both Guy Fawkes and the Pope on the bonfire (and even those of a contemporary politician or two), although the gesture is seen by most as a quirky tradition, rather than an expression of hostility towards the Pope.

  7. Guy Fawkes Day celebration • Preparations for Bonfire Night celebrations include making a dummy of Guy Fawkes, which is called "the Guy". Some children even keep up an old tradition of walking in the streets, carrying "the Guy" they have just made, and beg passersby for "a penny for the Guy." The kids use the money to buy fireworks for the evening festivities.

  8. Guy fawkes day’s salutes • The fireworks and bonfires on Guy Fawkes Night are really beautiful.

  9. Guy fawkes mask  A stylish portrayal of a white face with a subtle smile and red cheeks, a wide moustache upturned at both ends, and a thin vertical pointed beard was designed by illustrator David Lloyd. After appearing in internet forums, the mask became the trademark symbol for the online activist group Anonymous. Time Warner owns the rights to the image and is paid a licensing fee for the sale of each mask.
