BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Baha'i Faith Happy Naw-Rúz - Bahá'í New Year

And happy spring, as well. Today is sunny and mild, and most of the snow has melted in the last three days. Daffodils are coming up, snow drops and winter aconite a showing white and yellow blossoms and we have the first crocus up in our yard. All of which makes for a hopeful outlook on the new year.

Today's article is about Bah�'� new year and how we celebrate -

I wish you all a prosperous new year and good health and happiness.

Happy Naw-Ruz Cheryll! Will you be doing something special tomorrow?

Yes. We are planning to celebrate Spring by taking the bikes out for the first time since Fall. If it doesn't rain enough to turn our rural roads to mud. It really signals Spring and the new year when we can do that, even though we have been walking for the past few days along the edges of the fields. (Winters in Michigan, we walk at the gym or make a few circuits at the neighborhood Lowe's!)

Our Bah�'� cluster community decided to have a big potluck this year at Peace Neighborhood Center, hosted and organized by the Univ of MI Bah�'� Club. Lots of food, 150 some folks of all ages, with program that included music and children's presentations. We have several talented jazz musicians who provided their skills, as well.

What have you been doing? Are you ready for the new year?
