Baha'i Group Mark New Year Baha'is from this area travelled to London on Saturday, March 20 to share a Naw-Ruz dinner with friends from, that city. The dinner, prepared by the women of the London community, and the enter- tainment which followed, were sponsored by the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of London. The, event was an attempt to bring together Baha'is from the different parts of the newly-forMed Huron Region. Naw-Ruz is the Persian word for "New Year" in English and is 'one of the happiest' feasts of the Baha'i year. It is observed' by Baha'is each year at the March' equinox (March, 21) and initiates the Baha'i New Year. The Naw-Ruz • observance cele- brates not only the inception of a new 'year and the renewal of life that accompanies it, but also the termination of the 19-day fast, marked , by Baha'is each year during, the . final month of the Baha'i calendar. The fast involves' total abitinence from both food and drink from sunrise to sunset each day. The spiritual significance of , the Baha'i fast, as is the case with the fasts Of all religions, does not lie in simply abstaining from physical food. The fast is a symbol of forbearance ftom desires 'of the flesh and serves as a reminder that, in order to progress spiritually, our thoughts must be directed on God and His demands rather than on this world and our physical wants. In this way the fast is a time 'of purification and preparation .for the rebirth of a' new . cycle Of growth,, namely Naw-Ruz. The Naw.:Ruz celebration, like all Baha'i feasts and holy days, is • a means of promoting the unity and harmony 'of mankind, one of the foremost principles enunciated by 'Baha'u'llah over a century ago. Baha'is from this area were in Kincardine .on the evening of Thursday, March 25 to view a slide show organized by Ron 'Jacobs, a' Bahal from Whitefish 'Falls in Northern Ontario. The slides depicted many scenes from Latin America where Ron was a Canad- ian pioneer for several year's. Also included in the compilation were shots of Baha'i shrine's in the Holy Land taken during pilgrimage. In his 24 years of Baha'i life, Ron has done much travel teaching throughout Canada. and the rest of the world, ' Travel teaching is an important aspect of the Baha'i Faith in Canada, for it brings spiritual energies to the more isolated areas of this vast land, Canadian DahalS are urged to travel teach as a means' of promoting the unity mentioned so often in the Baha'i, writings.
