Happy Ridván from the Bahá’ís of Irving!🌹
Today marks the beginning of Riḍván, the holiest festival in the Bahá’í calendar. Over the next twelve days, Bahá’ís around the world celebrate this joyful occasion, known as the “King of Festivals.”
Riḍván commemorates the time in 1863 when Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith, declared His mission as a Messenger of God in the Garden of Riḍván near Baghdad. The word Riḍván means Paradise, symbolizing a time of spiritual renewal, unity, and hope for all humanity.
During these sacred days, we reflect on themes of peace, oneness, and service, and we come together with family and friends in a spirit of joy and gratitude.
We wish our community and friends a blessed and joyful Ridván! 🌹
