Lynda, these traditions date back to centuries when people were working (extremely hard) from sunrise to sunset and beyond! They could defiinitely not indulge in being "bored" as modern people can! These folk dances, contests, etc. were the rare and only times when they could entertain themselves on the occasions of a wedding, a religious or pageant celebration, ... Only nowadays' people who fiddle endlessly on their cell phones are truly bored ...

Three young women (English, American, Canadian), have been the Gloucester cheese rolling champion in recent years. You don't have to be a man to be a poor decision maker!

Bonfire night is not a Holiday. We only call an event a holiday if it has day off work.

i was at school in the 70's conkers was big, the idea to break your mates conker, we came up with all things to cheat lol, its done in the season when the seeds fall, have to remember, we had not internet, video games, only board games, 3 channels on TV, we did everything outside, making go carts, tree houses, rope swings, getting into bit of mild trouble,

Protestant is Christian and was started by Martin Luther, which is who Martin Luther King was named after. Henry VIII became the Head of the church in England with the reformation so he couod marry whom ever he wanted without the pope getting involved.

The Protestant Church was formed because Henry VIII wanted a divorce from his Catholic wife Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn. The Pope at the time wouldn't permit the divorce so Henry broke away from the Catholic Church, formed the Church of England, made himself head and gave himself a divorce.

Technically, the protestant Church formed in 1517 when Martin Luther nailed his paper to the door outlining why the Catholic church needed to reform. Henry VIII split from the Catholic Church in 1534, which was the foundation of the Church of England aka the Anglican religion, which is a denomination of protestantism. The main difference between the two religions is that Protestants believe man can be saved by belief in Jesus, and that the transubstantiation of bread and wine turning into the body and the blood of Jesus at communion is symbolic. Catholics believe it's not enough to just believe in Jesus, you need to do good deeds too to be saved, and they believe bread and wine does actually transform. (AFAIK.)

@@hughtube5154 Technically there is no evidence that he nailed his theses to any door. However, it was the tradition of the time when debating any aspect of Catholicism, so it is more assumed than actually truth. He did send his theses to an archbishop, though. It was primarily an objection to the sale of Indulgences to people with sufficient funds so that they would spend less time in purgatory for their sins before entering heaven. Selling Indulgences and Confession allowed people not to genuinely repent their sins. Protestantism, in it's many forms came along long after he died.

There's plenty of "cheese rolling" videos on you tube which are quite hilarious and oh yes, it's not just the men that break their bones for a lump of cheese. Maybe do a reaction guys.

Men, women and even children do the Cheese rolling. There are people that actually take it really seriously and this is kinda their thing. Also if you haven't fallen over before the end and you can't stop you are going to be helped to be stopped by the rugby team stood at the bottom. If I remember properly the cheese is worth around 500 something £'s (pounds).

He only briefly touched on Viking Ship Burning on Shetland. Check Out the "Up Helly Aa" festival from Shetland. There are other Fire Festivals as well. To answer your question the national religion in the UK is Anglicanism (aka The Church of England) born from Lutheranism and formed by Henry the VIII after his split with the Roman Catholic Church. There are all forms of religion in the UK.

The cheese in the rolling is not actual cheese these days because of health regulations but if you win then you do receive a cheese wheel but one that has not been rolled down a hill covered with who knows what contaminates.

what you need to do with the hills, its a lost art form, is sit on cardboard, through the summer, it takes a good few gow, ieach time you go down the grass, you take the moisture out, after a while it becomes slick, also with your park slides, candle wax it, go down a few times, wax works its magic, you fly

Women do the Cheese Rolling too!

You’re so right about the conkers, somebody always gets hurt 😂And those kids in the video are not putting much effort in tbh

I don't think I ever got to watch a whole Punch and Judy show all the way through, but I remember Punch and Judy booths (vertical red and white stripes, that's part of the tradition) at the beach. Protestant is a catch-all for all the churches which originated in western Europe or North America which aren't the Roman Catholic church. Except the "church" of scientology which isn't a church because it's not even remotely part of Christianity, and only started rebranding itself as a "church" to get out of taxes. Originally Evangelical and Protestant meant the same thing, and that's how Evangelical is used in German, for instance, in place of Protestant. The Protestants were protesting for, = pro+test i.e. testifying in favour of, the Gospel of salvation by faith in Jesus, which is what Luther got into trouble with the Catholic church for clarifying. The original Reformers of the Reformation immediately split over various issues because they were trying to do a complete back-to-basics redesign of Christianity rather than accepting the Roman Catholic church's prepackaged version, and protestants have continued the tradition of splitting into seperate churches ever since. The bigger denominations of Protestants, what are called the Mainstream Denominational Churches, are the Lutherans, the Anglicans (very similar to the Lutherans but less well defined and allowing a wider variety of opinion and practise including people who are Catholics in all but name), the Calvinists who call their churches either Reformed church or Presbyterian church, the Baptists and the Methodists, which is a more evangelistic and socialistic offshoot from the (Anglican) Church of England founded by an English evangelist called John Wesley, whose _method_ of travelling around preaching in the open air to people in everyday language ended up giving the church its name. At one time Methodists were famous for their anti-capitalist tendencies, making the US presidential Bush family very bad Methodists indeed.

UK church is Church of England - which is Protestant - Protesting against some of the restrictive rules of the catholic church. It has caused all sorts of conflict with Europe and kings and queens throughout European history.

Religion-wise, in England its Anglicanism (known as Episcopalianism elsewhere), and in Scotland its Presbytarianism (a form of Calvinism). Both were Catholic but had protestant reformations. Its historically surprisingly important as there have been a number of massacres, civil wars, murders, invasions and at least one revolution due to the struggle between Catholics and Protestants in the UK alone. To this day, in Northern Ireland (and to a lesser extent in Glasgow, Scotland) there is still bitter sectarian violence over the divide.

Unfortunately that's how we had to win religious toleration. That was a central goal of several of the versions of Protestantism all the way through the wars of religion in Europe. Not only the Catholics, but also the Lutherans and Calvinists wanted to impose uniformity to their taste, and we all had to have the idea beaten out of us in effect. And historically, all other civil liberties flowed from that first principle of religious liberty. That produces the idea of freedom of speech, because everyone has to be allowed to promote their theology, freedom of assembly because people have to allowed to gather for worship however they believe, etc. The French Revolution was just catching up to what the Reformation had delivered elsewhere.

According to the most recent large scale survey, the largest group in English identify as having no religion at all. After that it will be C of E usually which is Protestant. There is a long history of religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants in UK history.

The Bonfire Night historic anti-Catholic feeling is because the plotters were Catholics who were angered by anti-Catholic laws of the time, and the king was Protestant (and titular head of the Church of England). Thankfully that side of it generally died out long ago.

when you say some gets hurt i was 10 at school in the 70's, marbles was a big thing, each marble on its design was worth more, two brothers palyed, while at school, once lost or something, he threw the marble off the ground, it bounced up into his brother eye, blinded him for life in that eye, it was a big deal because we were at a catholic school also,

Good luck as a tourist in the Uk seeing any of that stuff. A lot of those examples seemed really outdated for example Punch & Judy I thought was cancelled in around the 90’s for it’s connotations of wife abuse (beatings), conkers great when I was a kid but Millennials and later have video games an social media so you’re unlikely as a tourist to be exposed to conkers played by grownups (I mean, where are they?)

Women also partake in the cheese race as well, separate to the men's race.

Protestant is the same as in the US.

The official religion of England is Church of England, or Anglican, Scotland's is Presbetarian.

cheese yes it is fun and women and children do it as well.

People come from all over the world to do the cheese rolling event.

It’s not just men that do the cheese rolling. The women also have a go! Plus there is even a race for the children. 😉

Technically the Anglican Church is Catholic, just not Roman Catholic i.e anglicans don’t recognise the Pope as head of the church. Protestants are sects like Lutherans, Baptists, and Quakers etc. who do not have a church hierarchy, arch bishops, bishops etc. The Church of England is Anglican, (but there are a lot of Protestant sects too). Henry VIII did not change the church structure in England, just who was the head of it. Thus endeth your lecture on Tudor history 😂

Protestant look at Henry the V111 divorce?

We have a very low percentage here that are religious . 😊

Church of England is the main one, I think you call them Episcopalians? They split from the Catholics because Henry VIII wanted a divorce and the Pope wouldn't do it.

Hiya, The religion of England was Catholic until King Henry 8 th wanted to divorce his wife because his wife couldn't give him an heir ,the Pope wouldn't permit a divorce, so Henry 8 abolished/disestablished the Catholic Religion and established the Church of England or Protestant religion, he married Six different women before got a son a heir . There's a acronym to remember the Six wives it goes Divorced, Beheaded,Died , Divorced, Beheaded, Survived ❤❤ British History Is Grim at time s .

The New World/USA used to celebrate bonfire night but it was outlawed because people would actually set the Irish (mainly) and Catholics alight on the night, even if the Irish weren't Catholic. The thing is, Guy Fawkes was from York in the north of England. Americans going to the extreme before being Americans.

two main religions are christian, which is catholic and church of england (prodistant), ist just a different believe about jesus and god, Im catholic, my uncle was the catholic bishop of gibralta, a a part of spain we kept, he is now the bishop of sheffield in the UK The pop is catholic, i dont think prodestants have something like the pope but i could be wrong on that

I believe that Prodestant and Church of England are the main denominations in Britain. And Catholicism is another denomination... Although they're all forms of Christianity, all throughout history, it's not uncommon for different denominations of Christianity to go to war with each other to 'prove who is right' (idiots... offence intended)

Expecting this to be yet another one of Mojo’s patronising videos for the USA viewers, in which Mojo try to invoke humour into their day, by pointing out those daft, funny and quirky things the British do in their day to day lives….making the average British person look a bit nuts, odd,simple or even a danger to themselves and others…. What appears to be “quirkiness” are habits and customs and yes, “doing daft things for no apparent reason” are all part of what it is to BE British! We are being made to look like simpletons! The acceptance that we CAN do things because we CHOOSE to is what makes lives fun. Rolling after a cheese down a steep hill, risking breaking bones? If you want to, go ahead and do it! Morris Dancing? - I personally would never mock a Morris Dancer - they celebrate the occasion by consuming Real Ale before and after …. Taking the Mickey out of a dancer is inviting danger! Wearing a paper hat one time on Christmas Day “quirky”?
