One of the largest of celebrations in the Bahá'í community is coming up this week. November 12 is the anniversary of the birth of Bahá'u'lláh. Since in the Bahá'í calendar, the day begins at sunset instead of midnight, often the party will begin on the 11th here in the West. Usually everyone is invited to share in the festivities, so if you hear of a celebration in your area, don't be afraid to drop in and have some good food and good company.

Here's the latest article from the Baha'i site at BellaOnline.com:
