This is an invitation to treat your body, heart, and energy with the same tenderness you so often offer others.

Ayyám-i-Há Party! All are Welcome!
Dear friends and neighbors, please join the Menlo Park Bahai Community in celebrating Ayyám-i-Há with unity, spiritual words and devotions, and a pizza dance party!
What does Ayyám-i-Há mean?
Ayyam-i-Ha has been translated into English as “Intercalary Days” which literally means that they are days inserted into the Baha'i calendar. Unlike the majority of Baha’i holy days that either celebrate joyous historical events or commemorate sorrowful dates of significance, Ayyam-i-Ha is a festival of the attributes of generosity, love, compassion, of praising God and friendship. It stands in contrast to the Fast, a time of abstinence and inner contemplation and transformation, following directly afterwards.
How is Ayyám-i-Há celebrated?
Baha’u’llah has reduced rituals and ceremonies to a minimum in the Baha’i Faith and so everyone celebrates Ayyam-i-Ha differently. Many communities and families share meals together and some exchange gifts. Ayyam-i-Ha celebrations can be elaborate and complex or they can be humble and simple. The beauty of these days is that little is required to make good cheer when you are in the company of friends and surrounded by an atmosphere of love.
