View submission: Non-bahai wishing to understand bahai holidays so I can be nice to my neighbor
Just wish her Happy Ridvan (pron: Riz'-wahn) during the next days after the 21st and that'll probably make her happy. This 12-day festival marks the official beginning and declaration of Baha'u'llah (our Prophet Founder) as the One foretold by all religions - a tall order, obviously. But that's what she and we believe.
It's kind that you wish to do a nice thing for her. Baha'is love to celebrate and exchange gifts, time, food, etc. No worries, except for giving alcohol. What Baha'is like most is to talk about peace, race relations, God and prayer and how we can all learn to love one another and coexist. That means more than all the flowers and gifts in the world.

Ok thanks! I'll do that.
I already know about the alcohol thing and make sure if I make her chili that I don't put whisky in it.
