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.
Baha’is from all over Brazil have created three online musical celebrations in honor of the 1st, 9th and 12th days of the Festival of Ridvan, which celebrates when Baha’u’llah publicly declared His station as a Manifestation of God in 1863. This video celebrates the 12th day of Ridvan with a variety of prayers and music in Portuguese.
You can find the other two online Ridvan celebrations on the Bahaivid YouTube channel.
