Albuquerque Baha'i Community to Hold Special Celebration

  "So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the entire Earth."  

-Bahá'u'lláh

On the weekend of October 20-22, the Albuquerque Baha'i Community will hold a special celebration, and the public is invited. 

Along with millions of members of Baha'i communities worldwide, the local community will commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of Bahá’u’lláh, considered the founder of the Baha'i faith. The celebration also observes the birth of the Bab, whose teachings inspired Bahá’u’lláh.

Bahá'u'lláh's teachings focus on the unity of God, religion, and mankind. Similar to other monotheistic religions, God is considered the source of all created things.

These Twin Holy Birthdays are celebrated by Bahá’ís and their friends as one annual festival where the closely interwoven lives and missions of these two Divine Luminaries are remembered together.
