Happy Ridvan

Happy Ridvan!

Ridvan is the twelve day period, which celebrates the Declaration of Baha'u'llah. This is the First Day of Ridvan and in 1863 Baha'u'llah entered the Garden of Ridvan. He spent twelve days in that garden before he left Bagdad. During that time, he said good-bye to friends and declared his mission.

I will make several entries about this over the next twelve days. Some of those entries will be about the history of the Festival of Ridvan. Some of those entries will be poems about Ridvan celebrating the Declaration of Baha'u'llah.

Happy Ridvan!
