Walking Through the Garden of Ridvan: A Look Back

It is hard to believe that as of sunset tonight (which has already happened in many places) Ridván will be over.  I have had so much fun participating in the first ever Walking Through the Garden of Ridván series with Bahá’í Mom Blogs and getting ideas for how to celebrate this special holiday with my boys.

Here is a look back on all the fun things that the participating bloggers shared during this 12 day festival.  For a full list of the posts, see our main page.

We set up a Ridván tent, learned about celebrations around the world, and sampled rose water cheesecake…

…used music to celebrate, made a felt story board, and shared hospitality…

…made crowns, used nightingale puppets and sensory play, and created a beautiful environment…

…tapped into the joy of the festival, celebrated with loved ones, and, finally, left the beautiful garden.

How did you celebrate Ridván this year?
