Some Ayyam-i-Ha activities

"It behoveth the people of Baha, throughout these days [Ayyam-i-Ha], to provide good cheer for themselves, their kindred and, beyond them, the poor and needy, and with joy and exultation to hail and glorify their Lord, to sing His praise and magnify His Name... "

(Kitáb-i-Aqdas, paragraph 16)



I am really learning a lot here at the BWC about Ayyam-i-Ha and different ways of celebrating it. Seriously, there is so much going on throughout these days! What i love the most is the atmosphere of fellowship and festivity.

We had some prayers and a gift exchange in our Office, each of us got something very cute and special.

I also had aprivilegee to be invited to a children Ayyam-i-Ha party at one of the homes. It was so much fun! There was a dinner, fun games, music, we sang some songs, they did some face painting, played piano together:):):) I think I enjoyed it more than kids:):)

We had a Philippino Ayyam-i-Ha party last night with lots of non-Philippino friends.
Here we had some performances, people prepared songs and dances and performed their talents for everyone:) We also felt like little kids and played some crazy (!!!!) games with a lot of noise and laughter.

I was hoping to post some pictures but Blog refuses to do so. May be tomorrow i'll be more lucky and will be able to illustrate my stories:)
