Happy Ayyám-i-Há!

As we move into our annual “spiritual season,” beginning with Ayyám-i-Há, encompassing the Fast, and concluding with Naw Ruz, we feel a special excitement, joy, and reverence. Personally, I declared my faith in Baha’u’llah on the first night of Ayyám-i-Há of 1976, so this season always brings back precious memories. As you “provide good cheer” for yourselves, your kindred, the poor, and the needy, you might take a look at some of the celebrations of the past preserved here and consider sharing your own precious memories with the Iowa Bahá’í History Project. Our stories are important!

I wish you Happy Ayyám-i-Há, a blessed Fast, and a joyful Naw Ruz!
