Ridvan celebrates Baha’u’llah’s time in 1863 in the garden of Ridvan in Baghdad when He publicly declared His station as a Manifestation of God. The Ridvan Festival is 12 days long and is also the time of year when Baha’is elect their governing bodies.
Here’s a simple, fun and amazing activity you can do with your Junior Youth group or with your friends and community. Just follow the layout of the chairs in the video. Make sure everyone’s height is about the same. You can do the trick with 3 or more people, and of course it doesn’t matter if they’re boys or girls! Enjoy!
Naysan is passionate about using the arts and media to explore the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. Back in 2011, Naysan started up the Baha’i Blog project, channeling his experiences in both media and technology companies to help create a hub for Baha’i-inspired content online.
