This day in the Bahá'í calendar is also the day marked as Naw-Rúz (meaning New Year), as shared in other countries such as Iran, due to some similar histories. (See our page dedicated to Naw-Rúz for more information)

The Inverness community is being joined by friends of several faith backgrounds and from roundabout the area, to celebrate this event, which occurs at the Vernal Equinox, but the celebration is moved to the more convenient Saturday 24th, and is by invitation.  This time we are to be entertained by and can dance to the music of the Tin Pan Alley "big band".

If you would like to attend, please email us for an invite – invernesscommunity@hotmail.co.uk

Reading for the Feast of Bahá (Splendour)

Therefore, the reality of prophethood, which is the Word of God and the perfect state of manifestation, did not have any beginning and will not have any end; its rising is different from all others and is like that of the sun. For example, its dawning in the sign of Christ was with the utmost splendour and radiance, and this is eternal and everlasting. See how many conquering kings there have been, how many statesmen and princes, powerful organizers, all of whom have disappeared, whereas the breezes of Christ are still blowing; His light is still shining; His melody is still resounding; His standard is still waving; His armies are still fighting; His heavenly voice is still sweetly melodious; His clouds are still showering gems; His lightning is still flashing; His reflection is still clear and brilliant; His splendour is still radiating and luminous; and it is the same with those souls who are under His protection and are shining with His light.
