Day of the Covenant

The Day of the Covenant is the day when Baháʼís celebrate the appointment of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá as the Centre of Baha'u'llah's Covenant. It occurs yearly on the 4th day of Speech (Qawl) which coincides with either November 25 or 26 depending on when Naw-Rúz (referred to as Nowruz by the United Nations) falls on that year. The day is one of two Baháʼí holy days where work does not need to be suspended.
