June 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
Here’s a simple, fun and amazing activity you can do with your Junior Youth group or with your friends and community. Just follow the layout of the chairs in the video. Make sure everyone’s height is about the same. You can do the trick with 3 or more people, and of course it doesn’t matter if they’re boys or girls! Enjoy!
Naysan is passionate about using the arts and media to explore the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. Back in 2011, Naysan started up the Baha’i Blog project, channeling his experiences in both media and technology companies to help create a hub for Baha’i-inspired content online.
Good fun.
