The 15th day of the 8th lunar month is a very special day for the Chinese, the day is always changing because of the different calender the Chinese used for it. It started of a long, long time ago when there were still emperors ruling China. And they have been celebrating since then.

When is the religious Buddhist festival Wesak celebrated?

Wesak Day is on the 15th day (full moon) of the 4th Lunar Month. In the Lunar calender there is a possiblility of leap month (just like a leap year in the universal calender, i.e. every 4 years). However the leap month of a Lunar calender is determined by an almaniac (not every four or every two years basis). In such circumstances there is a possiblity of having double 2nd Lunar month or a double 4th lunar month and so on. So if there is a double 4th lunar month, then Wesak will be internationally accepted on the 4th lunar month on the 15th day (full moon) in the month of May of the universal calender and in most cases on the first 4th lunar month.
