Halloween
The Celts celebrated Samhain in ancient times to thank spirits for helping with the harvest. Centuries later, Christianity spread and November 1st became All Saints' Day, with the night before known as All Hallows Eve or Halloween. Modern Halloween combines aspects of the Celtic harvest festival with the spooky traditions of All Hallows Eve, involving costumes, pumpkins, and imaginary spooks.
Bonfire Night
Bonfire Night is celebrated in the UK on November 5th to commemorate Guy Fawkes' failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I. Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators were Catholic extremists who wanted to overthrow the Protestant government. Their plot was foiled when guards discovered barrels of gunpowder in the cellars before the king arrived. Today, Bonfire Night celebrations involve burning effigies of Guy Fawkes, lighting bonfires and fireworks, and eating traditional foods like potatoes, soup, and parkin cake.
