Featured in: Baha'i Naw-Ruz
Every year Baha’is from all over the world and of all cultural backgrounds celebrate Naw-Ruz, the beginning of a new year in the Baha’i Calendar. Naw-Ruz marks the end of the 19-day Baha’i Fast, which is a period of reflection and profound spiritual reinvigoration. Naw-Ruz is a celebration of a “spiritual springtime” that symbolizes both individual renewal and mankind’s revitalization.
Here’s the first music video by the Johannesburg Baha’i Choir, directed by Neissan Alessandro Besharati and produced by Nicola Brescia.
