Both U.S. Senators from Virginia, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner have offered their congratulations to the Bahá’í community as it celebrates in 2017 the Bicentennial of the Birth of Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith. 

Bahá’ís in Arlington, Virginia, gathered to celebrate the Bicentennial of the Birth of Bahá’u’lláh at two events over the weekend of October 21 and 22, 2017. 

At the Top of the Town, 145 attendees enjoyed a program with Bahá’í prayers & readings, live musical performances, a wonderful children’s program, and an inspiring presentation on the Person of  Bahá’u’lláh. The program was followed by a delicious luncheon & everyone present enjoyed the fabulous terrace views of Washington, D.C. 

In Barton Park, those gathered offered Bahá’í readings to dedicate two trees to Arlington County. Games for the children and plentiful snacks followed the prayers and dedication program.

Please join us in Arlington, VA, on Saturday, October 21, as we celebrate the Bicentennial of  the birth of Bahá’u’lláh, the Prophet-Founder of the Bahá’í Faith.

Bahá’u’lláh brought teachings to unite humanity and to aid its material progress and spiritual advancement. Around the world, Bahá’ís have begun to commemorate His birth, His life, and the transformative power of His words to address the current crises and challenges facing our planet.
