Vesak is one of the most important Buddhist festivals. It is also known as Wesak or Buddha Day. It is also a time to reflect on his teachings and what it means to be Buddhist
Vesak Day is the celebration of Buddha’s birth and enlightenment. It is observed across the world on the day of the full moon between May/June, depending upon the lunar calendar. On Vesak Day, temples are lit up with lamps (symbolizing the radiance of knowledge and awareness), flowers are offered to statues of Buddha (symbolizing purity and love), and charity events are organized for the poor and homeless (embodying peace and compassion).

Vaisakhi represents the establishment of the Khalsa Panth (Nation) by the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1699. A principle passed on by Guru Gobind Singh Ji was recognising the whole human race as one – regardless of faith, background or gender. For many Vaisakhi represents the birth of the Sikh identity.

The Holocaust Memorial Day encourages remembrance in a world scarred by prejudice and systematic, targeted persecution.
We remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust (during 1941 – 1945). We also commemorate the millions more people murdered through the N**i persecution of other groups and in the more recent genocides recognised by the UK government (Cambodia, Rwanda & Bosnia), and the genocide in Darfur.
