At sundown Tuesday, members of the Baha'i Faith begin the celebration of Naw-Ruz, or New Year.
Guests are welcome to attend free.
Naw-Ruz is also celebrated as a New Year holiday in many Middle Eastern countries, and it is also one of nine Holy Days in the Baha'i Faith. The Baha'i Faith of Jacksonville is also accepting nominations through March 23 for the 10th annual Unity in Diversity awards. The awards are presented to people and organizations in the Jacksonville area who work to reduce prejudice and discrimination. The awards will be presented June 8. Entries, which can be poems or monologues, must be received by April 6.
