Ridván, particularly its first day, marks the beginning of the Most Great Festival, a twelve-day celebration in the Baha’i faith commemorating the founding of the Baha’i Faith 150 years ago. This festival holds profound significance as it marks the momentous occasion when Baha’u’llah, the founder of the Baha’i Faith, publicly declared his mission as a Messenger of God in the Garden of Ridván in 1863. The declaration of Baha’u’llah’s mission is considered the most significant event in Baha’i history, signaling the start of a new era of spiritual enlightenment and unity among humanity. Ridván is celebrated with joy, prayer, reflection, and community gatherings, emphasizing the principles of unity, peace, and the oneness of humanity central to the Baha’i teachings.
