12 February 2025 Buddhist Holy Days 2025 Magha Puja Day

Magha Puja is a holiday observed in many Buddhist countries and is one of the most important festivals in Buddhism. This holiday is observed annually on the full moon day that falls during the third lunar month. It has been referred to as Buddhist All Saints Day by some authors and is also known by several other names, including Fourfold Assembly Day and Sangha Day.

Although this holiday was observed by several Southeast Asian communities in the past, over the last 100+ years, it has become widely popular all over Asia for Buddhists. This holiday commemorates the 1,250 Buddhists who all came together to pay tribute to Buddha.
