Buddhism is practiced in many countries, and the holidays celebrated vary according to the different cultures of those countries. One distinctly Buddhist holiday is Buddha's birthday, which is celebrated on dates determined by the lunar calendar, so it varies from year to year. In 2008 it should fall on 12 May.
