Apr 21
The day that it is believed that Baha’u’llah learned his mission as the last messenger of God to the world in 1863.
Religious / Ethnic Group – Baha’i
Tradition and Practices – Celebrations begin two hours before sunset as it symbolizes the time that Bahá’u’lláh entered the garden. Given that the First Day of Ridván is also one of the Bahá’í
Holy Days, work and school are prohibited. Baha’i’s traditionally observe this holiday by gathering together in prayer and celebration.
