SUMMARY:Remember Remember the Fifth of November
DESCRIPTION:Remember remember the Fifth of November\, Gunpowder treason and Plot\n \nFor centuries the people of Britain were required by law to commemorate the Gunpowder Treason plot and to give thanks to God for his deliverance of the King\, Lords and Parliament. Parliament met in January 1606 and passed the Thanksgiving Act. This made services and sermons commemorating the plot a regular annual feature each 5 November. \nThousands of sermons were delivered on that date over the next two centuries and hundreds of them were published. The tradition grew of marking the day with the ringing of church bells and bonfires. Fireworks were also included in some of the earliest celebrations. \nFollowing the capture of Guy Fawkes on 5th November 1605 and the arrest of his fellow conspirators\, the Government responded immediately to this attempt to blow up the King and Parliament. \n  \n\nAn Act entitled ‘An Acte for a publique Thancksgiving to Almighty God everie yeere of the Fifte day of November’ was passed in January 1606 This proclaimed the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot should ‘be held in a perpetual Remembrance’ and that the day be ‘a holiday for ever in thankfulness to God for the deliverance and detestation of the Papists’. This annual ‘remembrance’ was to be marked by a morning service in every parish church at which a special prayer of thanksgiving was to be offered up.\n\n\n\nThese celebrations were always more lively when people saw a present Catholic threat. The custom of burning effigies of the Pope\, or the devil\, seems to have begun in the reign of Charles I (1625-49) and became more popular during the crisis over the succession of James II in 1678-81. It was only later that Guy Fawkes replaced the Pope as the figure burned on the 5 November bonfires. It became a night when Protestants across Britain reflected on events of the past and how they were preserved from a number of Catholic terrorist plots and coup d’etats. \nToday the tradition continues in England primarily\, with Bonfire night and the burning of the Guy. Children create a guy to be burnt in effigy to accompany the collection of money and firewood on Bonfire Night. This is a tradition that thrives in British playgrounds\, parks and streets to this day. \n\nBonfire Prayers \nRemember\, remember the Fifth of November\nThe Gunpowder Treason and plot\,\nI see no reason why Gunpowder Treason\nShould ever be forgot. \nGuy Fawkes\, Guy Fawkes ’twas his intent\nTo blow up the King and the Parliament\,\nThree score barrels of powder below\nPoor old England to overthrow. \nBy God’s providence he was catch’d\nWith a dark lantern and burning match\,\nHoller boys\, holler boys\, ring bells ring\nHoller boys\, holler boys\, God Save the King! \nA penny loaf to feed the Pope\nA farthing o’cheese to choke him\,\nA pint of beer to rinse it down\nA faggot of sticks to burn him. \nBurn him in a tub of tar\nBurn him like a blazing star\,\nBurn his body from his head\nThen we’ll say old Pope is dead. \nHip Hip Hoorah!\nHip Hip Hoorah!\nHip Hip Hoorah! \n

SUMMARY:Eleventh Night
DESCRIPTION:Lighting the Way – Eleventh Night Bonfire & Family Celebration in Portglenone \nThe Banntastic Festival will mark one of the most iconic traditions in the Protestant calendar with a spectacular Eleventh Night Bonfire and Family Fun Evening in Portglenone. The event blends commemoration and community\, heritage and hospitality\, and offers a family-friendly alternative for all ages. \nRooted in the events of 1690\, Eleventh Night bonfires symbolise the eve of King William III’s victory at the Battle of the Boyne. Across Ulster\, these fires are a celebration of deliverance\, liberty and Protestant identity. In Portglenone\, that tradition is embraced with pride—but also enhanced with modern values of safety\, inclusion\, and cultural education. \nThis year’s event includes: \n\nChildren’s games and inflatables\nLive local music\nFree Street Food\nCeremonial lighting of a Beacon\nTraditional music as the flames rise\n\nEveryone is encouraged to bring a chair\, a torch\, and their community spirit. The evening is an opportunity to enjoy cultural expression in a safe\, respectful and celebratory way—a truly “Banntastic” experience for the whole family.

SUMMARY:Commemoration of the Landing of King William
DESCRIPTION:Wyck\, Jan; William III Landing at Brixham\, Torbay\, 5 November 1688; National Maritime Museum; http://www.artuk.org/artworks/william-iii-landing-at-brixham-torbay-5-november-1688-176186\nThe Glorious Fifth – the Fifth of November\nThe Glorious Revolution of 1688\, which shaped our Parliamentary Democratic Constitution and ensured a foundation for the freedoms we still enjoy today began when William Prince of Orange set foot in England on 5 November 1688. \nThe landing has been marked since and this year we will be going online to commemorate the events leading up to Williams successful claim to the throne. While known as the bloodless revolutions and aside from the Battle of Reading there were no real battles in England\, we are well aware of the loss of life and the sacrifices made by his supporters in Ireland. \nThe Glorious 5th November marks not only this Great Deliverance from ‘Popery and Arbitrary Power’ with the creation of a balanced Constitutional monarchy with the place of Parliament established and the path to democracy set; but also the deliverance from the Gunpowder Plot earlier in the century. \nTraditionally Orange Lodges would meet on or close to this date to commemorate the events\, that double deliverance of what was to become our British democracy. With COVID Restrictions we are taking this opportunity to mark this traditional anniversary at home with a commemorative dinner and then a traditional bonfire night.
