Visakha Puja

One of the most celebrated and the most important of Buddhist festivals is Visakha Puja Day or “Vesak” celebrating 3 events; the birth, enlightenment, and the passing away of the Buddha.
These events occurred when the moon was in the Visakha (usually in May), which is why the day is called Visakha Puja, “Puja” meaning to pay respects.
