Riḍván is Everywhere! Day 1: The Garden

Follow our Playlist of all 12 "Ridván is Everywhere" Celebration Programs:
• Riḍván Is Everywhere 2...
The "Is Everywhere" Collective is back to bring you family friendly programming for the Festival of Ridvan while we are all standing together in physical separation. Ridvan is the Most Great Festival for Baha'is and spans 12 days. Though much of the festival's historical events are clothed in the garb of mystery which Shoghi Effendi has said future historians would find difficult to penetrate, we have managed to put together programming for each of the 12 days of Ridvan with Special Programs Sponsored by the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Los Angeles for the traditional punctuation points of the festival: the 1st 9th and 12th days.
