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.
This short video, produced by the Australian Baha’i Community, shares how Clara and John Henry Hyde Dunn arrived onto Australian shores on 10 April, 1920 and were the first Baha’is in the country. They spoke about and demonstrated the principles of the Baha’i Faith with all they met. The Dunns are like the seeds of an enduring legacy, not only for the Australian Baha’i Community, but for all of Australia and Australian society.
