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.
It’s hard to believe that it’s already a year since the House of Worship in Santiago, Chile was officially opened. In the year that’s passed, Brazilian photo journalist Nabil Sami has captured a beautiful array of images of the mother temple of South America.
