The sunday challenge = Bonfire Night...........Anything to do with bonfires, fireworks, Guy Fawkes, flames, baked potatoes. Although this is an English tradition, anyone from anywhere can make a shot of a flame or fire of some sort I think. :)

The challenge came too early, 11 November we celebrate St. Martin's Day with the bonfire, so I had to create my own bonfire.... Press Z to feel the heat!

From the late 4th century to the late Middle Ages, much of Europe engaged in a period of fasting beginning on the day after St. Martin's Day, November 11. This fast period lasted 40 days, and was, therefore, called "Quadragesima Sancti Martini", which means in Latin "the forty days of St. Martin." At St. Martin's eve, people ate and drank very heartily for a last time before they started to fast. This period of fasting was later shortened and called "Advent" by the Church. In some parts of the Germany, Netherlands and Belgium, children make their own lantern and go door to door with the lantern, and sing St. Martin songs, in exchange for sweets.

The feast coincides not only with the end of the Octave of All Saints, but with harvest-time, the time when newly-produced wine is ready for drinking, and the end of winter preparations, including the butchering of animals. Because of this, St. Martin's Feast is much like the American Thanksgiving (celebrated on the 4th Thursday in November) -- a celebration of the earth's bounty. Because it also comes before the penitential season of Advent, it is seen as a mini "carnivale", with all the feasting and bonfires.

In many countries bonfires are built, and children carry lanterns in the streets after dark, singing songs for which they are rewarded with candy. In recent years, the processions that accompany those fires have been spread over almost a fortnight before Martinmas, but previously, the Rhine River valley, for example, would be literally lined with fires on the eve of Martinamas.
