New Baha’i Calendar Celebrating 100 Years of the Baha’i Faith in Australia

March 15, 2020, in Articles > Art & Creative Works, by

A special edition Badi calendar (or Baha’i calendar) has been created for this year, 177 BE, in celebration of the centenary of the Baha’i Faith in Australia. Featuring historic photographs, this 22-page calendar includes Baha’i Holy Days and 19-Day Feasts from Naw-Ruz 2020 to March 2021.

The photos displayed are from the Australian national Baha’i archives and they highlight the growth of the Baha’i community, including key milestone events.

There are many photographs of Hands of the Cause of God Hyde and Clara Dunn, who traveled to Australia in 1920 to establish Baha’i communities.

You can order the calendar through the Australian Baha’i Distribution Services here: https://bahaibooks.com.au/products/badi-calendar-177-be
