Parliament chose November 5th as a day of Thanksgiving to commemorate the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, when a group of Catholic conspirators attempted to blow up the House of Lords and assassinate King James I. The plot was thwarted, and the king's survival was celebrated as a triumph of Protestantism and the monarchy. The day served to reinforce loyalty to the crown and the Protestant faith, fostering a sense of national unity. This led to the establishment of Guy Fawkes Night, marked by bonfires and fireworks, to remember the event.
