Ridván is a significant festival in the Bahá'í Faith, celebrated annually from April 21 to May 2. It commemorates the declaration of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, in 1863, when he proclaimed his mission as a messenger of God. The festival lasts for twelve days, with the first, ninth, and twelfth days being particularly holy. During Ridván, Bahá'ís around the world gather for prayers, reflection, and community activities. It is a time for joy and celebration, as well as an opportunity to strengthen bonds within the Bahá'í community. The festival emphasizes themes of unity, peace, and the importance of spiritual growth.
