All these days of celebration mentioned could be celebrated very differently now, this recent Easter was probably a strange one for many as due to the virus.

You're right there, very strange.
How are you?

Its strange times we live in right now and so considering the world keeps getting more insane I'm not bad thank you.

Good to hear from you :)

I wonder how many people think about the meaning of this festival. Is it just an excuse to watch fireworks whilst eating junk food?

Do you mean the history of dreadful persecution, torture and death? Or the history of being more in tune with the environment?
Now even our own history, distorted as it may be, has been obliterated by the rank commercialism of Hallowe'en.

The time of Guy Fawkes was horrible. I saw a bit of the recent TV drama about him with some gruesome executions. I'm now sure the people then thought much about the environment, but they could have less impact on it. Now we have no excuses. I've heard some saying we need action for the climate on the same scale as has been taken for the pandemic. It could be far worse for us in the long term.
