The annual Bonfire Night in the UK is coming!
November 5 is Bonfire Night in the UK. Around this day, bonfires and fireworks will be set off in the night in the UK. The British also called this night "the most beautiful night in their country"!
The reason for this festival is to commemorate a treason incident in Britain in 1605: because of dissatisfaction with the religious persecution of King James I of England, a man named Guy Fox led a group of extreme Catholics to blow up the Capitol.
But in the end the conspiracy was discovered, and Guy was executed by the fire type. In order to celebrate the terrifying conspiracy, British people burned Gay's portraits and set off fireworks to celebrate every year from November 5th.
