I am, I am, I am, the promised One! I am the One whose name you have for a thousand years invoked, at whose mention you have risen, whose advent you have longed to witness, and the hour of whose Revelation you have prayed God to hasten. Verily I say, it is incumbent upon the peoples of both the East and the West to obey My word and to pledge allegiance to My person

Naw Ruz Celebration

Naw-Rúz in the Bahá'í Faith is one of nine holy days for adherents of the Bahá'í Faith worldwide and the first day of the Bahá'í calendar occurring on the vernal equinox, around March 21.^[1] Norouz, historically and in contemporary times, is the celebration of the traditional Iranian new year holiday and is celebrated throughout the countries of the Middle East and Central Asia such as in Iran, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Since ancient times it has been a national holiday in Iran and was celebrated by more than one religious group.^[1] The Báb, the founder of Bábism, and then Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, adopted the day as a holy day and associated it with the Most Great Name of God.^[1][2]

The Baha'i Community of Minneapolis welcomes friends, family and neighbors to our annual celebration of Naw Ruz.

On March 20, 2010 starting at 7:00 PM our community will be having a gathering at the Baha'i Center to share the beginning of our New Year!

The gathering will start out welcoming all and then having a short prayer of thanks. After thanks and prayers there will be a pot luck sit down meal. (Please bring a dish to share.)
There will be a short program at the end of the meal.

Last year we had a full house and plenty of fellowship. Please join us at The Baha'i Center to celebrate the beginning of a New Year and be thankful what we have been given.
