my MAY calendar

bye April!

Hello MAY!!

Just to share two Korean holiday for this month, they will celebrate Children's Day and Buddha's Birthday.

Here in the Philippines, I don't know if we have Children's Day, as far as I know, we don't. We also don't celebrate Buddha's birthday. Philippines is known as a Catholic / Chrisian country so we only celebrate the very significant event in the world - that is the birth of JESUS CHRIST.

my class calendar for this month *though not accurate for the whole month

  
Children's Day

May 5th represents a day of celebration for children, both young and old. Amusements parks, zoos, and national parks become crowded with families enjoying the holiday in the Spring weather.

 

Buddha's Birthday

 

In Korea the birthday of Buddha is celebrated according to the Lunisolar calendar. This day is called 석가탄신일 (Seokga tansinil), meaning “the day of Buddha’s birthday” or 부처님 오신 날 (Bucheonim osin nal) meaning “the day when Buddha arrived”. Lotus lanterns cover the entire temple throughout the month which are often flooded down the street. On the day of Buddha’s birth, many temples provide free meals and tea to all visitors. The breakfast and lunch provided are often sanchae bibimbap.
