Q: What are these people doing?

There are many Buddhist holy days and festivals throughout the year.

Most of these are celebrated only in certain countries, but some are celebrated by all Buddhists.

The most important holiday is Buddha Day, which celebrates the day the Buddha was born, became enlightened and died.

Other holidays celebrate times of the year, such as the end of the rainy season.
