Naw-Rúz: A Time for Hope and Unity
Newbury Bahá’í community and friends from different regions gathered to celebrate Naw-Rúz with hope, joy, dance, and laughter. Though our hearts are heavy for what is happening around the globe, marked by war, suffering, conflict, and political upheavals, we came together in prayer, holding space for reflection, compassion, and renewal.

Happy Naw-Rúz to everyone!
