19 months and 19 days makes the Bahá'í calendar - and it also starts today

Naw-Rúz might sound remarkably similar to Nowruz. And that is because because it is - the word, along with the celebration, has been around for centuries, translated and mutated by different dialects, its roots in the Persian words for new day, and for light.

But Naw-Rúz, the Bahá'í new year is a distinct new year. It celebrates the calendar that forms the basis of the Bahá'í year, as instituted when the religion was founded in the 1840s.

I have friends that celebrate Bahá'í new year, so I'm going to update this blog post once have spoken to them. I love the internet, but a real person beats it any day. So, watch this space. And meanwhile

Happy New Year

As an Iranian mongrel I just want to invite any and all of my followers to join me in Chaharshanbe suri - cleansing yourself of all the bad that's happened to you in the last year before Nawruz (Iranian new year and the first day of spring)

To observe the festival, light a fire (I use a candle because I live north and it's way too cold to have a bonfire outside), and then jump over it while saying "sorkhi-ye to az man, zardi-ye man az to".

You are asking the fire to take all of the suffering and sickness and stress from you, and asking it to give you it's light and warmth and life in return.

Remember, celebrate responsibly :)

Happy Chaharshanbe Suri everyone!
