A different kind of Breakfast

Happy Naw Ruz!
Dont forget to say the Naw-Ruz prayer, its a once in a year opportunity.

Bahá'u'lláh intones majestically these words:

"I beseech Thee, O my God, by Thy Self and by them, to ordain in the course of this year what shall exalt Thy loved ones. Do Thou, moreover, decree within this year what will enable the Daystar of Thy power to shine brightly above the horizon of Thy glory, and to illuminate by Thy sovereign might, the whole world."

"Praised be Thou, O my God, that Thou hast ordained Naw-Ruz as a festival unto those who have observed the Fast for love of Thee..."

Bahais Believe in the Equality of men and women.
