A plan for a Kathen festival

Kathen ceremony, which Cambodian people usually celebrate every year in every pagoda in Cambodia from October to November, is one of religious festivall Next year my family and relatives are planning to have a Kathen in a pagoda in my father's hometown, which is about fifteen kilometers to the south of the centre of Takeo province. The Kathen is going to be held in my house in phnom penh, so we we are going to invite a lot of friends and relatives to the Kathen there. A day before starting the Kathen, we are going to the market in the morning to buy ropes, candles, incenses, milk, tea, food and other presents for the monks. Then in the afternoon, we are going to serve food and drink for the guest in my house. In the evening, we are going to invite some monks to preach and to teach us about the Buddha. In the next early morning, we are going to prepare the presents into the truck and buses and then go through the city to the pagoda. I hope we will have a good time in the pagoda and meet a lot our relatives there.
