The Festival of Ridvan: Day 1

On this day in 1863, the world’s newest independent faith was born in a beautiful rose filled garden known as the Garden of Ridvan (pronounced: rez-vahn). Every year Baha’is around the world commemorate the 12 days in which Baha’u’llah, the prophet-founder of the Baha’i Faith spent in this garden declaring his mission of peace, unity and love.

In honor of the First Day of Ridvan, this video combines visual effects by Setareh Samandari and Habib Zagarpour with an original score by renowned composer Jack Lenz to imagine what that glorious day would have looked like.

LYRICS
Wherefore, wed thou, in the heaven of Thy mercy these two birds of the nest of Thy love and make them the means of attracting perpetual grace, that from the union of these two seas of love, a wave of tenderness may surge and cast the pearls of pure and goodly issue on the shore of life.
-‘Abdu’l-Bahá
