Ayyam-i-ha

Tonight begins Ayyam-i-ha, The days between the calendars.  These are the five days  before the month of fasting begins, a time for hospitality, generosity, and small gifts.  It marks the last part of winter and punctuates with celebration the beginning of the Fast.  The Fast ( like Ramadan) is from sunrise to sunset for 19 days.  It is something that should not be missed, easier than it sounds, and re sets the system for the spring.  To my Baha'i family and friends, Happy Ayyam-i-ha, and a joyful Fast.
