Baha’is believe in the power of prayer and you’ll find Baha’is and their friends, throughout the world, getting together to pray. This is often referred to as a ‘devotional gathering’ or ‘devotional meeting’, and they happen in diverse settings, whether in cities or villages.
Baha’is around the world celebrate their New Year, known as Naw-Ruz, and the celebration takes place each year on the first day of spring, March 21st. In this video, some of the Baha’is from the Baha’i Community of Chicago are interviewed about this years festivities.
