Songkran Thai New Year

Happy Thai New Year

Songkran 2011

The Songkran is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year's Day

from 13 to 15 April. Hello! My name is Ayumi. May I tell you about The Songkran Festival in Thailand.

Songkran was traditionally a time to visit and pay respects to elders,

including family members,friends,neighbors and monks.

Thai people celebrating Songkran may go to a Wat(Buddhist momastery)

to pray and give food to monks.In northern Thailand ,people may carry handful of sand to their neighborhood monastery in order to recompense the dirt that they have carried away on their feet during the rest of the year.The sand is then sculpted into stupa-shaped piles and decorated with colour flags.

They may also cleanse Buddha images from household shrines by gently pouring water mixed with a Thai fragrance over them.It is believed that doing this will bring good luck and prosperity for the New Year.

The throwing of water originated as a way to pay respect to people ,by capturing the water after it had been poured over the Buddha for cleansing and then using the blessed water to give good fortune to elders and family by

gently pouring it on the shoulder.

The water is meant as a symbol of washing all of the bad away and is sometimes filled with fragrant herbs when celebrated in the traditional manner.

May I introduce you the good proverb

from

ท่าน V.Vajiramedhi

"May the timeless message of Songkran fill your heart and home

with joy today and throughout the coming year"
