Spring Baha'i Holy Days
Each spring Baha'is celebrate six Holy Days
All are welcome to join us in our observances. See listings on our website home page.
March 21: Naw Ruz (New Year)
The Festival of Ridvan (April 21, 29, and May 2), observing the days in 1863 when Baha'u'llah declared His mission as the most recent Messenger bringing God's eternal message with social teachings specific to this age, when the unity of humankind is of the greatest importance.
May 23: The Declaration of the Bab, the forerunner to Baha'u'llah. In May 1844 the Bab announced His mission, to prepare receptive souls for the coming of the new Prophet.
May 29: The Ascension of Baha'u'llah, at 4am EDT, when Baha'u'llah left this world in 1892. Baha'u'llah's passing occurred at Bahji in Israel (then Palestine), and the photo above is the balcony of the house where Baha'u'llah lived during the last years of his life, after being released from prison in Akka.
