The Baha'i's of Burlington invite you to celebrate the New Year (Naw- Ruz) on March 20, 2021. Naw-Ruz means "New Day."

"People from around the world have celebrated the first day of spring for centuries. The UN's General Assembly in 2010 recognized the International Day of Nowruz, (Naw-Ruz) describing it as a spring festival of Persian origin which has been celebrated for over 3,000 years." ( https://bahaiteachings.org/welcome-to-the-bahai-new-year-naw-ruz/ )

"The season of the divine spring will come; the clouds of mercy will rain; the sun of reality will shine; the life-giving breeze will blow; the world of humanity will wear a new garment; the surface of the earth will be a sublime paradise." (Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, p. 56-57)
Did you know that the Bahá'í Faith is established in more than 100,000 localities in virtually every country and territory around the world? The Bahai's of Burlington, VT invite you to celebrate this day in your own way because we believe in the independent search for truth.
