Ridvan celebrates Baha’u’llah’s time in 1863 in the garden of Ridvan in Baghdad when He publicly declared His station as a Manifestation of God. The Ridvan Festival is 12 days long and is also the time of year when Baha’is elect their governing bodies.
Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in London, England with Oisin Devine who sings “Thy Heart is My Home (Tu corazón es Mi morada)” in Spanish and in English, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in London, England, September 2018.
