Khmer New Year

Khmer New Year is celebrated for three days: The first day of New Year is called Moha Sangkran, and it can be described simply as the inauguration of the New Angels who come to take care of the world for a one-year period. The second day of New Year is called Wanabot, which means day of offering gifts to the parents, grandparents and elders. The third day is called day of “Leung Sakk;” that means the year starts to be counted up from this day, for example it is when the year of 2022 would change and begin to be 2023.
