Baha’i New Year
 After sundown on March 20, the eve of the vernal equinox, the Baha’is of Camano Island celebrated Naw-Ruz, the Baha’i New Year. For Baha’i’s, it marks the end of the 19-day fast, and is one of nine Baha’i holy days on which work and school are suspended. Baha’is observe Naw- Ruz through prayer, meditation, readings from Baha’i scripture and festive gatherings. The Bahai Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent monotheistic religions and one of the fastest-growing religions in the United States. Baha’i’s view the world’s major religions as part of a single, progressive process through which God reveals His will to humanity. Baha’i beliefs include the oneness of humanity, equality of men and women, the eradication of all forms of prejudice, the harmony of science and religion and universal education.
