Throughout the year, we, the Baha’is of Summerland, Penticton and neighbouring communities, joyfully welcome our friends and all people to many kinds of gatherings that aim to raise the spiritual quality of everyone’s life. These include meetings to worship, study or reflect together, and social gatherings that foster fellowship and unity among all people. We also observe our Holy Days, coming together to celebrate or commemorate significant anniversaries of the central figures of the Baha’i Faith.
In diverse settings, Bahá’ís and their friends and families unite with one another in prayer. There are no rituals; no one individual has any special role. Meetings consist largely of reading prayers and passages from the Bahá’í sacred texts in an informal yet respectful atmosphere. A spirit of communal worship is generated by these simple gatherings, and this spirit begins to permeate the community’s collective endeavours.
Bahá’ís commemorate 11 holy days each year. These occasions are usually observed with community gatherings in large or small settings, with programs befitting the significance of the day.
