Ridvan celebrates Baha’u’llah’s time in the garden of Ridvan where He publicly declared His station as a Manifestation of God. The Ridvan Festival is 12 days long and is also the time of year where Baha’is elect their governing bodies.
“Turn our Faces” is by the Baha’i-inspired musical group called The Shoreless Sea. It is based on a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha:
