Lag Ba'omer marks the day on which Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai passed away (1850 years ago), and it is celebrated with bonfires in his honor. Children play with bows and arrows in mock defiance of the Roman Empire, which had outlawed Torah-study.
It also marks the day on which the disciples of Rabbi Akiva, who were smitten by a plague, stopped dying.
