Fourth Day of Ayyam-i-Ha
The Baha'i calendar is made up of 19 months of 19 days each. The period of Ayyam-i-Ha adjusts the Baha'i year to the solar cycle. These days are set aside for hospitality, gift giving, special acts of charity, and preparing for the Baha'i Fast
Naw-Ruz (Baha'i New Year)
Coinciding with the first day of spring, Baha'is celebrate their New Year, called Naw Ruz, on March 21. The Baha'i calendar, which sets the rhythm for Baha'i community life, was inaugurated in 1844 with the declaration of the Bab, the Prophet-Herald of the Baha'i Faith.
