Happy New Year, everyone!

The latest article from the Baha'i site at BellaOnline.com is about Bahá'í New Year celebrations. The Bahá'í calendar begins on the vernal equinox, so Naw-Rúz is Monday! Even better, Sp[ring seems to have come here in the Midwest. Sun is shining, snow is mostly gone, and songbirds sound just as excited about it as I am.

Bahá'í New Year - Naw-Rúz
Naw-Rúz, literally New Day, is Bahá'í New Year. It occurs on the first day of Spring and follows the month of fasting.
