How to use it

- Read each Holy Day's date.
Formula
Each Holy Day falls on a fixed Badí-calendar month/day, per the Universal House of Justice's 2014 unified calendar ruling: Naw-Rúz (1 Bahá), Ridván 1st/9th/12th days (13 Jalál, 2 Jamál, 5 Jamál), Declaration of the Báb (8 ʻAẓamat), Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh (13 ʻAẓamat), Martyrdom of the Báb (17 Raḥmat), Day of the Covenant (4 Qawl), and Ascension of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá (6 Qawl).
Worked example
In Badí year 183 (2026): Ridván's 1st day falls April 20, and the Declaration of the Báb falls May 23.
Interpreting your result
The Baháʼí Faith is comparatively centralized — unlike several other traditions covered on this site, there's no major denominational split over these dates. Work is traditionally suspended on 9 of these Holy Days.
Recommendations
- • Ridván — commemorating Bahá'u'lláh's declaration — is a 12-day festival; only its 1st, 9th, and 12th days are observed as Holy Days, all shown here.
Frequently asked questions
