Guy fawkes night, also known as  guy fawkes day,  bonfire night  and  firework night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5  november, primarily in  great britain. its history begins with the events of 5  november 1605, when  guy fawkes, a member of thegunpowder plot, was arrested while guardingexplosives  the plotters had placed beneath the  house of lords. celebrating the fact thatking james i  had survived the attempt on his life, people lit  bonfires  around london, and months later the introduction of theobservance of 5th november act  enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure. within a few decades gunpowder treason day, as it was known, became the predominant english state commemoration, but as it carried strong protestant religious overtones it also became a focus for  anti-catholic sentiment.  puritans  delivered sermons regarding the perceived dangers ofpopery, while during increasingly raucous celebrations common folk burnt  effigies  of popular hate-figures, such as the  pope. towards the end of the 18th century reports appear of children begging for money with effigies of guy fawkes and 5  november gradually became known as guy fawkes day. towns such as  lewes  and  guildford  were in the 19th century scenes of increasingly violent class-based confrontations, fostering traditions those towns celebrate still, albeit peaceably. in the 1850s changing attitudes resulted in the toning down of much of the day's anti-catholic rhetoric, and the observance of 5th november act was repealed in 1859. eventually the violence was dealt with, and by the 20th century guy fawkes day had become an enjoyable social commemoration, although lacking much of its original focus. the present-day guy fawkes night is usually celebrated at large organised events, centred on a bonfire and extravagantfirework  displays.
