In modern times it's now a day where we watch fireworks, take blurry photos in the dark, eat hot dogs (or in this years scenario - fish and chips or jacket potato and beans) and throw a fake "Guy" on a giant bonfire but the reason for all this is The Gunpowder Plot!
Text below taken from https://www.britannica.com/topic/Guy-Fawkes-Day
"Led by conspirators like Robert Catesby, who were zealous Roman Catholics enraged at King James I for refusing to grant greater religious tolerance to Catholics. They planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament (Palace of Westminster) during the state opening of Parliament, intending to kill the king and members of Parliament in order to clear the way to reestablishing Catholic rule in England. The plan failed when the conspirators were betrayed. One of them, Guy Fawkes, was taken into custody the evening before the attack, in the cellar where the explosives to be used were stashed. The other conspirators were all either killed resisting capture orโlike Fawkesโtried, convicted, and executed. In the aftermath, Parliament declared November 5 a national day of thanksgiving, and the first celebration of it took place in 1606.
Today Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated in the United Kingdom, and in a number of countries that were formerly part of the British Empire, with parades, fireworks, bonfires, and food. Straw effigies of Fawkes are tossed on the bonfire, as areโin more recent years in some placesโthose of contemporary political figures. Traditionally, children carried these effigies, called โGuys,โ through the streets in the days leading up to Guy Fawkes Day and asked passersby for โa penny for the guy,โ often reciting rhymes associated with the occasion, the best known of which dates from the 18th century.
Fireworks, a major component of most Guy Fawkes Day celebrations, represent the explosives that were never used by the plotters."

Do you think Crowley is ever driving through a tunnel at night, carving a path through the heart of London?
And do you think he watches the lights blur past like atoms colliding in the emptiness of a space before time or reason or the fear of a steep fall?
And do you think he blinks, and in that momentโwith the road rushing beneath him and the staccato flicker of light against his closed eyelidsโhe remembers what it felt like to hold the universe between two palms?
To set the gyroscope spinningโto become both creator and divine witness, a hand print pressed into the rough edge of a cave wall (I was here and here I shall remain)?
Do you think he remembers it all?
And do you think he aches when he opens his eyes and finds nothing but chrome and fluorescence and the endless expanse of asphalt laid out before him?

In your memory.
Pose reference from "The Beloved Fake Saint." There's a scene where the pope gets down on his knees to worship/swear their love to the FL and I knew I wanted to see Snow do exactly this, but more awful and horrific.
