Pesach Sheni
From Halachipedia
Pesach Sheni is the 14th of Iyar, which is a month after Pesach. In the times of the Bet HaMikdash, Pesach Sheni was a day for the people, who couldn't bring the Korban Pesach on Pesach either because they were impure or were too far away from Yerushalayim, to bring a makeup Korban.[1]
Minhagim of the Day
- The minhag is not to say Tachanun on Pesach Sheni.[2] Some question this minhag.[3]
- There is a minhag to eat matzah the day of Pesach Sheni in the afternoon.[4] Some eat it also the night after Pesach Sheni, which is the 15th of Iyar.[5] Some don't have this minhag.[6]

Rav Scahchter (Piskei Corona #35) writes that there's no reason to omit tachanun on Pesach Sheni since the korban pesach wasn't brought on the first pesach, pesach sheni isn't established as a pesach sheni since it is only meant as a makeup for the original bringing of the korban pesach.
