Like many world religions, the Baha'i faith has its own special calendar. He was introduced by the Bab, the Forerunner of Baha'u'llah, and is known today as the calendar Badӣ 'or Bahá'í calendar. According to the calendar day - this is the time period between two consecutive sunsets. In the Bayan the Bab made a month 'Alā' month of fasting; He pointed out that the day of Naw-rӯza marks the end of this period, and announced Nau-rӯz Day of God. Bahá'u'lláh approved calendar Badӣ 'where Nau-rӯz designated as a holiday.

Nau-rӯz - New Year's Day. It falls on the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere, which usually occurs on March 21. Bahá'u'lláh explains that this feast should be celebrated on the day when the sun enters the constellation Aries (ie, during the spring equinox), even if it is just for a minute before sunset. Thus, Nau-rӯz may fall by 20, 21 or March 22, depending on the occurrence of the equinox.

Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith said that the introduction of the international law of the time of the celebration of Naw-rӯza necessary to establish a place on the earth's surface, which would serve as a reference for determining the occurrence of the vernal equinox. He also pointed out that choosing a place entrusted to the Universal House of Justice. In a letter to the Baha'is of the world from July 10, 2014 the Universal House of Justice ordered that this place be considered Tehran, the birthplace of Baha'u'llah. In a letter dated December 11, 2014 were published tables with calculations time of occurrence of various events for the new calendar, as well as their correlation with the Gregorian calendar. [4]

Calendar Badӣ 'is based on the solar year of 365 days, 5 hours and 50 additional minutes. Year consists of 19 months and 19 days each (for a total of 361 days) with the addition of four or five days, depending on the occurrence Nau-rӯza. Bab did not specify the exact location of plug-days in the new calendar. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas, this problem is solved by means of adopting a "remaining" permanent calendar days immediately prior to the month 'Alā', a period of fasting.

Baha'i seven-day week, off - Friday. It stands out as nineteen cycles in which each year has its own name. The period in the year 361 (19 × 19) is called the "Kull-and shay '" (ap. "All things").

In addition to the start of the new year, that is holiday-Nau rӯz Bahá'ís celebrate another ten Holy Days. While two of them - the Day of the Covenant and the Ascension of 'Abdu'l-Bahá - the work is not suspended.
Since the beginning of the year 172 AD the Baha'i Universal House of Justice has introduced uniform rules for calculating the calendar for the entire Bahá'í world. Earlier in Western countries Bahá'í calendar was tightly bound to the Gregorian year, whereas in the East (in Iran and other countries that have adopted the Muslim lunar calendar) Baha'i partly lived according to their own solar calendar, in part - by the lunar Muslim. The fact that the festival "Double Christmas", ie birthdays Bab and Baha'u'llah, the lunar calendar falls on the 1st and 2nd day of the month muḥarram and Baha'u'llah says that "in the eyes of God, these two days are considered as one." Universal House of Justice decided that now they will be observed in the first and second day after the new moon of the eighth Naw-rӯza, a certain advance in astronomical tables relying on Tehran as a reference point. As a result, the feast of the Nativity of the Double will be displaced each year and to fall in the months mashӣyyat, 'ilm and ḳudrat calendar Badӣ' - that is, the period from mid-October to mid-November according to the Gregorian calendar.

In the calendar ( "all things" are.) Baha'is also exist 19-year cycles, called "vāḥid", and 361-year-old (19 × 19) cycles are called Kull, and Shai '. Sunset March 20, 2015 will mark the end of 171 years, closing the ninth vāḥid first-Kull and Shai 'Baha'i era. Second-Kull and Shay 'will begin March 21, 2205. (Chronology conducted from 1844.)
