On behalf of the staff at Silver Stream PS, we would like to wish all of our families who celebrate Ridvan,
a very happy celebration.
Ridvan (pronounced Riz-wan) is a twelve-day festival, the most important one of the Baha'i
year. Ridvan, which means "paradise", is the name of the garden in which Baha'u'llah, the Founder of
the Baha'i Faith, proclaimed His identity as a Messenger of God. This happened in 1863 as
Baha'u'llah was about to be exiled from the city of Baghdad.
