Happy Naw-Rúz!

"Praised be Thou, O my God, that Thou hast ordained Naw-Rúz as a festival unto those who have observed the fast for love of Thee and abstained from all that is abhorrent unto Thee. Grant, O my Lord, that the fire of Thy love and the heat produced by the fast enjoined by Thee may inflame them in Thy Cause, and make them to be occupied with Thy praise and with remembrance of Thee." (Naw-Rúz, March 21, is the first day of the Bahá’í year.)

—Bahá’u’lláh, Baha'i Prayers, p. 268
