Featured in: Festival of Ridvan
Ridvan, also known as the Most Great Festival, celebrates Baha’u’llah’s time in the garden of Ridvan on the outskirts of Baghdad in 1863 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.
The Baha’is of Darebin, Melbourne, Australia, and San Francisco, USA in collaboration with Baha’i Blog, welcome you to the “Garden of Paradise”, a live-streamed musical celebration of the 12th Day of Ridvan with Irish singer and songwriter, Luke Slott.
Ridvan (Paradise), is a 12-day festival commemorating the Declaration of Baha’u’llah’s Message and the beginning of the Baha’i Faith.
