Pesach Sheni which falls out on the 14th of Iyar presented a second opportunity for people that had been impure or distant from Yershalaim on Peasach to bring the Korban Peasch. Hillulas of Rebbe Meir Baal Haness and Rabbi Yehuda bar Ilai are celebrated on Pesach Shani.
Kurban Pesach
Falling out exactly a month after the first night of Peasch (14th of Nisson), the sacrifice of Pesach Shani would be brought in the late afternoon of the 14th of Iyyar and was eaten on the night of the 15th of Iyyar.
Hillulas
Each year on Peasach Shani the hillula of Rebbe Meir Baal Haness is celebrated in Teveria and the hillula of Rabbi Yehuda bar Ilai is celebrated in Ein Zettim. Although there is no early sources that stating Yud Daled Iyar as the date of their Yartzheits, this is what became established over the years. This can possibly be due to its proximity to Lag Baomer when thousands of visitors would head up to the Galill for the Hillula of Rebbe Shimon bar Yochi.
