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.
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.
