St George's Day: England’s Patron Saint is rarely celebrated today, even by the English. Among the few patriotic remaining, many choose to wear a red rose on this day.

Guy Fawkes’ Night: many countries around the world unknowingly celebrate Guy Fawkes’ Night with fireworks and frivolity. This festival takes place on the night of November 5 and commemorates the capture and execution of Guy Fawkes, who attempted to blow up King James 1 and the Houses of Parliament in 1605 along with his co-conspirators. Mulled wine, food, the burning of an effigy and fireworks are all part of this fun family event and every town celebrates it.
