SUMMARY:Il Full Moon (Pōya) Day
DESCRIPTION:The Kaṭhina Cīvara Pūjā is the Buddhist “communal ceremony of making robe offerings” to Buddhist monks who complete the three-month rain-retreat (vassa). Annually\, the ceremony takes place in October / November\, depending on the lunar calendar. A period of four weeks is set aside for the celebration after the Il full moon (Pōya) day\, which marks the monks’ ‘pavāraṇa’ (ending) of the rain retreat. Lay devotees formally and communally offer a “specially stitched robe” to the members of the saṅgha (monastic community) identified as Kaṭhina robe. Theravāda Buddhist traditions consider the offering of the Kaṭhina robe as an enormously meritorious deed.

SUMMARY:Un̆duvap Full Moon (Pōya) Day & Saṅghamittā Day
DESCRIPTION:Sri Lankan Buddhists celebrate the Un̆duvap Full Moon Day in December as the day of arrival of Theri Saṅghamittā in Laṅkā with a sapling of the Śrī Mahābodhi in the third century BCE. Theri Saṅghamittā’s visit also marked the beginning of the female order of the saṅgha in Laṅkā. Over centuries\, the Śrī Mahābodhi has become a tree of historical records unparalleled in world history. Anurādhapura\, the capital of ancient Laṅkā until 993 CE flourishing for 1\,300 years\, became the site for well-known eight pilgrimage sites. Rediscovered by the British colonial archaeological expeditions\, UNESCO recognized Anurādhapura as World Heritage Site in 1982 \n  \n
