Vesak, sometimes anglicised to Wesak, is one of the most commonly performed rituals of public devotions in Buddhism. It is the annual ritual celebrating the Buddha's birth, enlightenment and death.
The celebration of Buddha's birth is called Vesak or Buddha Purnima. It is a significant Buddhist festival observed by Buddhists worldwide to honor the birth, enlightenment, and passing away of Gautama Buddha.
The two principal holidays are Vesak and Kathina. Vesak celebrates the birth, enlightenment and final passing of the Buddha. Kathina celebrates the end of the rainy season retreat. In addition to these two, many countries and traditions have their own Buddhist holidays.
