Festivals

  It is almost impossible to visit Myanmar and miss some kind of festival. During full moon all kind of religious festivals are being held througout the country.These can last up to four days. Also there are special festivities for pagodas; remembering the day they were builded or special occasions like the end of a season, a boy going into a monastery and so on. This parade was being held for a boy who was going into a monastery. A part of the life of the Buddha is replayed in this parade when the Buddha left his fathers palace and was informed suffering; death and poverty excisted.He than made up his mind to study the meaning of life. The boy in the parade is prince for one day also before his novitation as a monk. It is called Shinpyu and Burmese make considerable debts for celibrating this.
