What is bonfire night celebrating?
On November 5th 1605, Guido (Guy) Fawkes tried, with several other conspirators, to blow up Parliament in London. He had managed to secrete barrels of gunpowder in the cellars of Parliament but was discovered before they could be detonated. He was taken to the Tower of London and tortured until he revealed the names of his fellow conspirators. He was then hanged. This became known as the Gunpowder Plot. On November 5th each year, bonfires are lit throughout the UK and an effigy of Guy Fawkes is burned on the fire and fireworks are set off. This annual event is known as Bonfire night or Guy Fawkes night and is celebrating the fact that the King and Parliament survived the plot, although in reality, most people have forgotten the real reason and (children in particular) just enjoy the festivities. Look up Guy Fawkes on Wikipedia for the full story.
Why did they wait so long to arrest Guy Fawkes?
Although the attempt had been discovered 8 says earlier, the search was only conducted right before the Opening of Parliament. The reason: a search on an earlier date might come up empty-handed if the conspirators had by then not yet started to transport the gunpowder to the Parliament cellars. And if the searchers had gone again and there were still a few days left, they might yet have the chance to place explosives there. Thirdly, conducting a search right before the Opening might result in finding not only explosives, but also one or more of the conspirators who were to light them - as indeed proved to be the case. It is one of history's little ironies that the gunpowder if lighted would not have exploded. The black gunpowder of the time was a mix of ingredients that remained only explosive as long as the mix remained intact. But if stored for a long time, the gunpowder's ingredients tended to 'separate' again, making the gunpowder useless. It later was found that the conspirator's gunpowder mostly had disintegrated in this fashion.
