Makha Bucha Day Monday February 9 2009 (the date changes according to the year)
*This day is a religious public holiday. It came from the day when 1250 disciples from the Lord Buddha gathered to listen for the Dharma speech after Buddha's enlightment. Merit making ceremonies take place at temples, while at night candlelit processions walk three times around the temple:
- one time for the Lord Buddha
- one time for the Sangha, i.e. Buddhist monk community
- one time for the Dharma, i.e. Buddhist teachings ***http://www.thaiworldview.com/feast/feast.htm
