They celebrate with their traditional bonfires and the children go begging for money as usual.

In his effort to reform the Catholic Church, Martin Luther posts his 95 theses on the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church as part of the Protestant Reformation. Protestants do not believe in saints. Therefore, there was no longer a need for All Hallows' Day or Halloween. The Celts, not wanting to give it up, move it to November 5th and call it Guy Fawkes Day. They celebrate with their traditional bonfires and the children go begging for money as usual.
