Poya days are deeply sacred national holidays in Sri Lanka tied directly to the Buddhist lunar calendar. Every single full moon day officially commemorates a specific highly significant event in the life of the Buddha or the historical introduction of Buddhism to the island.

For example the Vesak Poya in May is the most important celebrating the birth enlightenment and passing of the Buddha. The entire country shuts down commercial activities to focus purely on visiting temples practicing meditation and performing acts of community charity.
