Vesākha untranslated

Vesākha. The month of April-May. Tradition says that the Buddha’s birth, Awakening and Passing, took place on the full moon day of Vesākha (e.g., Ja.i.; Bv­a.248; Mhv.iii.2). The Vesākhapūjā was always celebrated by the kings of Ceylon (See, e.g., Mhv.xxxii.35; xxxv.100; Cv.li.84.). The full moon day of Vesākha was chosen for very solemn undertakings, such as the crowning of Devānampiyatissa (Mhv.xi.42), the laying of the Foundation Stone of the Mahā Thūpa (Mhv.xxix.1), etc.
