Bonfire Night

Fête britannique qui commémore l'échec de la Conspiration des Poudres. Le 5 novembre 1605, des conspirateurs catholiques menés par Guy Fawkes tentèrent de faire sauter le Parlement pour se débarrasser du roi et de son gouvernement, mais ils furent découverts et exécutés. Aujourd'hui, on brûle des effigies du Guy dans de grands feux de joie (bonfires), et on tire des feux d'artifice.
