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.
We’re back with our third episode of “Deck of Questions” with the fantastic Aaron and Sally, two Baha’is living in the Gold Coast, who share the wisdom they’ve gathered in their rich lives.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we have!

Aaron also speaks about the process of asking one’s parents for consent before marrying, which is one among several unique aspects of Baha’i marriage.
