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.
Luminous Journey: Abdu’l-Baha In America, 1912 is a documentary film that brings to light the events that took place and the people who encountered Abdu’l-Baha during His visit to the United States and Canada. This important historical chapter has been brought to the screen by Tim and Anne Perry in a wonderful two and a half-hour documentary film. This video freely shares part 1 of that film. You can watch part 2 of the film here: https://bit.ly/3oBJ8kf
