RE Festival Focus- Vesak

  Vesak is the Buddhist festival that celebrates the birth, enlightment and death of Buddha. Wesak is a very colourful and happy celebration. Homes may be cleaned and decorated. In many countries, Buddhists will visit their local temple for services and teaching. They will give offerings to the monks of food, candles and flowers. Chanting and praying are an important part of Wesak. Today we made 3d lilies as this is an important symbol for Buddhists.
