“Remember, remember, the fifth of November, Gunpowder, Treason and Plot”

Bonfire night is a British tradition dating back to November 5th 1605, when catholic conspirator Guy Fawkes was caught with 36 barrels of gunpowder getting ready to blow up the House of Lords and kill King James I.

GUY FAWKES

Guy Fawkes was not the only person to be caught however. In fact, a group of 13 disaffected young catholics were involved in the conspiracy. The leader of these men was Robert Catesby. Catesby felt that violent action was the only repsonse to the persecution of catholics under the rule of King James.
However, having been previously warned, the king’s men raided the cellar where they found Guy Fawkes. He was tortured for 2 days in the infamous Tower of London and finally revealed all. With the information Guy revealed, the kings men went after the rest of the conspirators.
Some of the conspirators died in a shootout with the king’s men, while the rest were killed in the nost violent manner – by being hung, drawn and quartered (click here). Those killed in the shootout had their bodies exhumed and were then decapitated to serve as a warning to others. The message sent out was crystal clear: all dissent will be brutally punished.
In the aftermath of the plot new laws were passed that removed Catholics’ right to vote and restricted their role in public life. It would take 200 years for this to change.

Bonfire Night Today

Every 5th November across Britain, and many other countries, communities create bonfires and often elaborate firework displays to commemorate this day. Often an effigy of Guy is placed on top of the bonfire and then set alight. The extent and size of the celebrations vary depending on the community.
Lewes, in the South East of England, is probably the most famous for its Bonfire Night festivities and consistently attracts thousands of people each year to participate.

Interestingly Guy Fawkes, and especially his mask, is now used as a symbol for anti-government and anti-establishment protests worldwide. Most famously in the movie V for Vendetta and more recently as the symbol for the online hacktivist group Anonymous.
It seems the legacy of Guy Fawkes lives on …

EASTER EGG`S STORY

PINCHA PARA CONTESTAR

Did you know? The largest Easter egg ever made was over 25 feet high and weighed over 8,000 pounds. It was built out of chocolate and marshmallow and supported by an internal steel frame.

Easter Eggs

Easter is a religious holiday, but some of its customs, such as Easter eggs, are likely linked to pagan traditions. The egg, an ancient symbol of new life, has been associated with pagan festivals celebrating spring. From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus’ emergence from the tomb and resurrection. Decorating eggs for Easter is a tradition that dates back to at least the 13th century, according to some sources. One explanation for this custom is that eggs were formerly a forbidden food during the Lenten season, so people would paint and decorate them to mark the end of the period of penance and fasting, then eat them on Easter as a celebration.

Easter egg hunts and egg rolling are two popular egg-related traditions. In the U.S., the White House Easter Egg Roll, a race in which children push decorated, hard-boiled eggs across the White House lawn, is an annual event held the Monday after Easter. The first official White House egg roll occurred in 1878, when Rutherford B. Hayes was president. The event has no religious significance, although some people have considered egg rolling symbolic of the stone blocking Jesus’ tomb being rolled away, leading to his resurrection.
