Eleventh Night : ウィキペディア英語版
Eleventh Night

In Northern Ireland, the Eleventh Night or 11th Night refers to the night before the Twelfth of July, a yearly Ulster Protestant celebration. On this night, large towering bonfires are lit in many Protestant/loyalist neighbourhoods in Northern Ireland and are often accompanied by street parties. The bonfires are mostly made up of wooden pallets and tires, with some reaching over 100 ft tall.〔("The leaning tyres of Belfast: Protestants pile up incredible bonfires as they prepare for inflammatory celebration of Battle of the Boyne" ). ''The Daily Mail''. 10 July 2013. Retrieved 11 July 2014.〕 The event has been condemned for displays of sectarian or ethnic hatred, anti-social behaviour, and for the damage and pollution caused by the fires. The flag of Ireland, Irish nationalist (including republican) symbols, Catholic symbols, and effigies, are burnt on many bonfires. There have been attempts to make the event more family-friendly and environmentally-friendly. It is also known as "bonfire night", in common with other events in which bonfires are lit.〔

==Origins==
Like The Twelfth itself, the Eleventh Night is associated with the Glorious Revolution (1688) and Williamite War in Ireland (1689–91). Tradition holds that the bonfires commemorate the lighting of fires on the hills of counties Antrim and Down to help Williamite ships navigate through Belfast Lough at night.〔("The boy and the bonfire" ). ''Belfast Telegraph'', 9 July 2010.〕 Protestant King William III and his forces landed at Carrickfergus to fight the Catholic Jacobites, supporters of the exiled Catholic King James II who was trying to regain the British throne.
Bonfires in Northern Ireland traditionally mark the night before the Twelfth. However, should the Twelfth fall on a Sunday, as it did in 2015, the public holiday is given in lieu on the following Monday. When this situation arises, some bonfires are lit on the Saturday night.
