ROD RECIPES 11/5/2006 Guy Fawkes Day Guy Fawkes Traditional Ginger Bread
On November 5, people in England celebrate a holiday called Guy Fawkes
Day. Nearly 400 years ago, Guy Fawkes and other conspirators tried to blow up a
British Parliament Building in 1605. After being apprehended they were
convicted and beheaded in 1606. November 5th is now celebrated as the
anniversary of the plot. Ever since, Guy Fawkes Day has been a time for
merrymaking. The best part comes as darkness falls. Then, straw dummies are
tossed into huge bonfires. Amid cries of glee, firecrackers pop and "the Guy"
goes up in a blaze of fire.
