April 30, 2023, in Audio > Audio Books & Readings, by

Baha’i Blog is happy to provide an audio reading of the 2023 Ridvan Message from the Universal House of Justice.

Each year during the Festival of Ridvan, the Universal House of Justice addresses a letter to the worldwide Baha’i community, known as the Ridvan message. These letters touch on many subjects, including the growth and vibrancy of the Baha’i community, its efforts to contribute to the life of society, and the progress of specific projects and plans. 

Special thanks to Alan and Lorraine Manifold for reading this message for us.

The 2023 Ridvan message can be viewed and downloaded from the Baha’i Reference Library.
