東大寺[とうだいじ]二月堂[にがつどう]で、お水[みず]取[と]りと呼[よ]ばれる行事[ぎょうじ]が行[おこな]われました。この行事[ぎょうじ]は、正式[せいしき]には修二会[しゅにえ]と呼[よ]ばれます。毎年[まいとし]3月[がつ]にあるそうです。夜[よる]に松明[たいまつ] (= torch)がたかれて(= to kindle (in this context))、とてもきれいです。朝日[あさひ]新聞[しんぶん]のこのページにアクセスすると、美[うつく]しい写真[しゃしん]と動画[どうが] (= motion picture)を見[み]ることができます。詳[くわ]しい説明[せつめい]が読[よ]みたい人[ひと]は、この東大寺[とうだいじ]のウェブサイトへ!
I read a report of the annual event held at Todaiji Nigatsudo (one of the famous temples in Japan). This event is called “omizu tori” (officially this is named "shunie") and held in March every year. Monks walk in the temple carrying big kindled touches at night – as you might imagine, it is very beautiful. This page of Asahi Shibmun Newspaper shows a beautiful photo as well as a motion picture of “omizu tori”. If you want to know more detail, please access to the website of Todaiji.
