Kathen Festival

Hi!!!!!!!!!! Everybody, My name is CHEATA. I'm 15 years old. I'm in shack group.

Now I would like to tell u about Kathen festival. Kathen Festival is the one of the most important festivals in Cambodia. It not a national ceremony, but it is a religious festival because we celebrate it in the pagoda. Usually we celebrate Kathen from the middle of October to the middle of November.

In fact every pagoda must hold Kathen once year. We can also celebrate Kathen at home to collect the presents for the monks by inviting the monks to pray in our house, and sometimes we invite one or two of the monks to preach for the people. In the next morning we take the presents to the pagoda with guests.

In Kathen Festival is very happy because we can take some foods or some presents to the monks at the pagoda.
