Celebrating Baha’u’llah

For two-days next week, all those who wish to celebrate 100 years since the birth of Baha’u’llah – the founder of the Baha faith – can do so through a number of events set in Nicosia, Limassol and Famagusta.

From October 20-22 the celebrations will be carried out all around the world to commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of Baha’u’llah.

Baha’u’llah claimed to be the prophetic fulfilment of Babism, a 19th-century outgrowth of Shaykhism, and, in a broader sense to be a Manifestation of God.

During his life he suffered terrible persecution, imprisonment and exile as he proclaimed the need for all religions to work together to establish the promised age of world peace. Baha’u’llah said that unless women and men could “work together like the two wings of the bird of humanity” the world could not fly forward to peace and prosperity.

In Nicosia, Limassol, Famagusta and in villages, the two-day celebrations will include concerts, film screenings, theatrical performances, receptions, bus trips and other activities for everyone of all ages, races, and religions.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
