Ayyam-i-Ha is a Baha’i festival that is joyously celebrated in countries and territories all over the world. It is a time of hospitality, generosity, and caring for the needy. It typically falls around the end of February and beginning of March and it is either four or five days long.
Baha’i Blog is delighted to share an audio recording of one of our articles titled, “An Introduction to Ayyam-i-Ha,” in which we learn a little about the significance of this Baha’i festival dedicated to socializing, being hospitable, giving generously to the poor and needy, and preparing for the upcoming month of fasting. This article looks at what Ayyam-i-Ha is, what it means, and how it’s celebrated. The article is read by its author, Sonjel Vreeland.
In her innermost heart, Sonjel is a stay-at-home parent and a bookworm with a maxed out library card but professionally she is a museologist with a background in English Literature. She currently lives on Prince Edward Island, an isle in the shape of a smile on the eastern Canadian coast. Sonjel is a writer who loves to listen to jazz when she's driving at night.
