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 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 local and national governing bodies, and every five years, the international governing body for the worldwide Baha’i community.
The team at the Baha’i Knowledge Network is sharing special programs for each day of the Festival of Ridvan. Short presentations are provided daily with special extended programming on the 1st, 9th and 12th days of Ridvan. Join friends from around the world and enjoy music, arts, crafts and even refreshments together! This video is in honor of the 2nd day of Ridvan, featuring music by Bahiyyih Peters and so much more!
