Birth of the Bab (Bahá'i)

There are no set practices or services to commemorate the various holy days of the Bahá'ís. Different communities may organise devotional days of prayers and readings appropriate to the day in question.

There are 11 holy days, of which 9 are major holy days.

The holy days require that Bahá'ís refrain from work on the 3 special days of Ridvan and all major holy days unless specifically disallowed in their terms of employment. Children are required not to attend school if possible.

Bahá'ís are encouraged not to celebrate the holy days of other religions among themselves.
