Wesak is the most important among all the Buddhist festivals. It celebrates the Buddha's birthday. In Theravada Buddhism, Wesak is a sacred holy day which is an observation of the birth, enlightenment and death (parinirvana) of the Siddhartha Buddha. While in Mahayana Buddhism, most of the time the Mahayana celebrates the day where Buddha get his enlightenment on this full moon day.
