The birth of Siddhartha Gautama, Attainment of Buddha-hood, and Parinirvana (session of life) all happened in the Vesak Full Moon Poya (Purnima) day. It is the first full moon of May. That is the most holy day for Buddhists.
Secondly, the Full Moon day of June is important to Buddhists in Sri Lanka. The son of Ahoka Empire Mihindu Maha Thero, a Buddhist Monk came to Sri Lanka and officially introduced Buddhism to Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan King Devanampiyatissa became a Buddhist this day.
Thirdly, the Full Moon day of July is also important to Buddhists in Sri Lanka. The daughter of Ashoka Empire, Sanghamitta Maha Teri, a Buddhist nun brought the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi Tree to Sri Lanka, a sapling from the Bodhi tree under which Siddhartha attained the Buddha-hood. That is the oldest known tree still living in Anuradhapura Sri Lanka.
