Guy Fawkes Night
Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in England. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Actenforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure.
Noche de Guy Fawkes
La Noche de Guy Fawkes (en inglés: Guy Fawkes Night, también conocida en inglés como Bonfire Night, (la noche de las hogueras), Cracker Night o Fireworks Night (la noche de los fuegos artificiales) es una celebración que se realiza principalmente en el Reino Unido la noche del 5 de noviembre, para conmemorar el fracaso del atentado del 5 de noviembre de 1605, conocido como la conspiración de la pólvora, con el que una facción de católicos, entre los que se encontraba Guy Fawkes, intentaron destruir el Palacio de Westminster, la sede del parlamento en Londres.
Origins and history in England
Guy Fawkes Night originates from the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a failed conspiracy by a group of provincial English Catholics to assassinate theProtestant King James I of England and replace him with a Catholic head of state. In the immediate aftermath of the arrest of Guy Fawkes, caught guarding a cache of explosives placed beneath the House of Lords, James's Council allowed the public to celebrate the king's survival with bonfires, so long as they were "without any danger or disorder",[1] making 1605 the first year the plot's failure was celebrated.[2] Days before the surviving conspirators were executed, in January 1606 Parliament passed the Observance of 5th November Act 1605, commonly known as the "Thanksgiving Act".
