Buddhists in Thailand, Cambodia, Lao, Burma and Sri Lanka, celebrate Makha Bucha Day on the 26th February. It commemorates a historical meeting between the Buddha and his first 1,250 disciples. Today, Buddhists visit their local temple, listen to Buddhist teachings, give alms to monks and recite Buddhist scriptures. The highlight of Makha Bucha is the candlelight procession in the evening when everyone is invited to decorate the temples in candlelight. Happy Makha Bucha Day from the Interfaith and Cultural Group.

Starting this evening and leading into tomorrow, Jewish communities around the world are celebrating Purim. Purim is the happiest day on the Jewish calendar and commemorates the survival of the Jews who, in the 5th Century, were marked for death by their Persian rulers. They were saved by the courage of a young Jewish woman called Esther. (Book of Esther) Purim is celebrated among Jews by: Exchanging gifts of food and drink known as mishloach manot Donating charity to the poor - mattanot la-evyonim Eating a celebratory meal known as se'udat Purim Public recitation of the scroll of Ester. Perhaps we could all take something from this special celebration and do something nice that brings joy to our lives. OLS Interfaith and Cultural Group
