Bahai - Naw Ruz

March sees the Baha'i festival of Naw Ruz - or New Year. The Bahai faith is the second most widespread religion in the world. We found out more....

It's a special time of the year for the Baha'i community as they look forward to the end of a period of fasting and celebrate the festival of Naw Ruz on the twenty first of March. 
Naw Ruz is the festival of New Year - and parties, presents and family gatherings are the order of the day. 

The Bahá'í faith accepts all religions as having true and valid origins. It  teaches that humanity is a single people with a common destiny.
Iran Jolly -  a member of the  Bahai community in Epsom Downs - told John Radford about her faith.
