Observance of the Nineteen Days

The Observance of the Nineteen Days refers to a yearly period in the Baha’i Faith beginning with the first day of the Baha’i year, which starts at sunset on March 20 and ends 19 days later on April 8. During this time, Baha’is engage in prayer, meditation, and fasting from sunrise to sunset, preparing spiritually for the New Year. This period symbolizes reflection, renewal, and the focus on spiritual growth, marking a dedicated time for Baha’is worldwide to renew their faith and deepen their connection with God.
