A Bahá’í Ayyám-i-Há Celebration

Please join us for FUN, friendship, pizza & live entertainment!

Saturday, Feb 25th, 2017
4:00PM-7:00PM at the Baha’i Center
Lovingly sponsored by the Bahá’is of Pittsfield Township

Please bring a side dish to pass.

The Festival of Ayyám-i-Há is a time for celebrating the Oneness of God by showing love, fellowship and unity. It is also a time of charity, goodwill, and participation in humanitarian projects.

The event will feature the following opportunities to give, and can be used to teach children about generosity in a very tangible way:

• The EPHY (Education Project for Homeless Youth) drive is in need of socks and underwear for high school students (both men’s and women’s sizes).
• The Peace Neighborhood Center drive is in need of any item that is not covered by food stamps for families (e.g. soap, shampoo, paper towel, toilet paper, etc. ).

The Bahá’i Intercalary Days
The Intercalary Days (or Ayyám-i-Há, meaning “Days of Ha”) are the days of preparation before the Bahá’i Fast (March 1-19); these are days of hospitality, enjoyment, gift-giving, charity, and paying special attention to the needs of others, our communities and the world.

About the Days of Ha:
A delightful, happy time of the year during which we demonstrate how we love, cherish and care for all of humanity, how we strive every day to know and to love God and therefore, love life itself.
