Hello friends,
We are sharing some more information related to the GUY FAWKES DAY. Today, we had presented our Power-point presentation to our class about the Guy Fawkes Day. The class enjoyed our presentation a lot. Around 1605, people started burning effigies of Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes was in prison during this time, and later it was declared that Guy Fawkes was hung to death in the House Of Lords.  It was celebrated in other countries as well. In Boston , an early celebration was observed in 1685. later, an special Riot Act was passed, which resulted to lessening of the celebrations of Guy Fawkes Day. In North America the commemoration was at first paid scant attention, but the arrest of two boys caught lighting bonfires on 5 November 1662 in Boston suggests, in historian James Sharpe's view, that "an underground tradition of commemorating the Fifth existed". In parts of North America it was known as Pope Day, celebrated mainly in colonial New England. The Guy Fawkes Day is also known as Pope Day in North America. According to author Alfred Young's view .....The Pope Day signified "scaffolding, symbolism, and leadership."

We will be soon be uploading pictures of us working on this project.

Thank You 

Regards
Shreyansh

Hello Friends !!  Glad to be back with more information ! We got so deeply involved in festivals that we found more similar festivals that are just celebrated like Guy Fawkes and Dussehra . Would like to share few of our research with you guys!!!!!! 1. Burning Man is an annual event in the western United States at Black Rock City – a temporary city erected in the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada, approximately 100 miles north-northeast of Reno. They burn effigies structured like a man. For example if it starts on Monday , 26 August then it will likely to end on Monday, 2 September. 2. The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. Its more like Guy Fawkes Festival.  That's it for today !!!   HAPPY BONFIRE NIGHT !!! 😉 SIDDHI

Hi friends we were very confused about the differences between Catholic and protestants. so we did a little research on them and this is what we discovered: The Pope Catholics have a Pope, which they consider a vicar for Christ; an infallible stand-in while Protestants believe no human is infallible and Jesus alone heads up the Church. Cathedrals Catholicism says that “humanity must discover its unity and salvation” within a church . Protestants say all Christians can receive salvation, regardless of church membership. Saints Saints are seen by Catholics as an intermediary to God or Jesus. Catholics pray to saints in addition to God. Protestants acknowledge saints, but don’t pray to them. Scripture The be-all, end-all for Protestants is “the Word of God.” For Catholics, tradition is just as important as scripture. Authority In Catholicism, only the Roman Catholic Church has authority to interpret the Bible. Protestants believe that each individual has authori

Hello Friends Today we saw your PPTs on Dusshera. We would like to thank you for putting in your efforts in the project. We received 7-8  entries from you guys. 3 PPTs were having totally different information about Guy Fawkes' death. One was telling that Guy Fawkes had broke his neck so that he could avoid hanging. The other two stated that Guy Fawkes had jumped off a cliff and had jumped off a tower in London.while our research states that  While climbing to the hanging platform, however, he jumped from the ladder and broke his neck, dying instantly.   we got this information from .........[https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-death-of-guy-fawkes]......... After watching your PPT it looks like you are very fascinated by Ravana.  We also got to know about the date when he died and about his mother and father's name --- Edith and Edward. There was some confusion between the surname of Thomas ---- whether it was Winter or Watson. There were a few spelling mistake
