Guy Fawkes Day is a festivity that celebrates the failure of Guy Fawkes and his accomplices' attempt to kill King James I. In 1605, they planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament while the Protestant king was inside, as to replace him with the Catholic monarch. Fortunately, they were discovered before they carried out their plan and they were arrested and later executed for treason. It is traditionally celebrated by lighting large bonfires and setting off fireworks, as well as making a guy, a homemade dummy resembling Guy Fawkes, to be thrown onto the bonfires.
