Publisher: The Bostonian Society 5th of November in Boston 
 "This online exhibit collects recollections and rare images to explore a forgotten facet of Boston's religious and political history. In Britain that holiday was 'Guy Fawkes' Day,' but New Englanders called it Pope's Day or 'Pope-Night'"; in the 18th century, Bostonian "5th of November processions became closely linked to the town's protests against Parliamentary taxes." Includes background about Guy Fawkes' Day, Boston celebrations, and the end of a tradition. From the Bostonian Society. http://display.5thofnovember.us/ Topics: Holidays and Observances Individually Last updated Oct 30, 2008 |
