Universal House of Justice issues Annual Message to Baha'is of the World
Riḍván Messages
Each year on the first day of Ridván—which generally falls on 20 or 21 April—the Universal House of Justice addresses a letter to the worldwide Bahá’í community, known as the Riḍván message. These letters touch on many subjects, including the growth and vibrancy of the Bahá’í community, its efforts to contribute to the life of society, and the progress of specific projects and plans. A number of the most recent Riḍván messages are included here.
This years message and a selection of those from previous years are available at:
