I apologize if this duplicates another post, which I may have missed. On the question of whether or not Guy Fawkes Day was celebrted in Virginia, my memory tells me of a negative to that, in that I recall that the Book of Common Prayer included a prayer for the _saving_ of the king from the intended attack--thus the day may have been "remembered" in that way.
