June 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
With all the activities going on in the Baha’i world, one of the things we really hope to achieve here at Baha’i Blog is to help serve as a resource for Baha’is and their friends, and that’s one of the reasons we launched our very own YouTube channel.
Our first series of videos on Baha’i Blog’s YouTube channel are called Studio Sessions, and the series has been extremely popular and is being met with a lot of support and enthusiasm – so thank you everyone!
Over the years we’ve had a lot of people asking us to help them with ideas of games or arts-and-crafts they can use for their children’s classes, holy days, or other Baha’i-inspired activities, so now that Studio Sessions is well underway, we’re now launching a new series called “Creative Ideas” to help with just that.
“Creative Ideas” is a new video series where we show you how to play or create a variety of games and arts-and-crafts for you to use in your activities.
In this “Creative Ideas” video below, Rayan shows us how to make a flower made of paper. Baha’u’llah teaches us that we are all like the flowers of one garden, so you can create with your kids a whole bunch of different colored paper flowers to add to your own garden in order to demonstrate this.
Naysan is passionate about using the arts and media to explore the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. Back in 2011, Naysan started up the Baha’i Blog project, channeling his experiences in both media and technology companies to help create a hub for Baha’i-inspired content online.
Naysan, I tried to subscirbe to the Baha’i Blog You Tube video, but the message “server not found” keeps popping up. How can I subscribe? I have some ideas for videos for making Baha’i crafts if you’re interested.

These are simply beautiful tools to help in children classes. A great service that will enhance children classes …
It would be great if you can add skits on virtues and stories from the Baha’i Faith
You are adorable
