Spirituality and Religious Life at RIT

🌟💙 Last week honored the Declaration of the Báb! Bahá'ís commemorate when the Báb declared his mission to the first believer in Shiraz, Iran (1844). This event marks the beginning of the Bahá'í era. The Báb's message prepared the way for Bahá'u'lláh's revelation. Work is suspended on this holy day. 🙏✨

☁️✝️ On May 14, Christians commemorated the Solemnity of the Ascension! Christians celebrate Jesus's ascension into heaven 40 days after his resurrection. Before ascending, Jesus commissioned his disciples to spread the Gospel and promised the Holy Spirit would come. This feast celebrates Christ's glorification and his continuing presence with believers. 🙏✨

🕋🙏 Day of Arafah! The holiest day in Islam, when Hajj pilgrims stand at Mount Arafat seeking Allah's mercy and forgiveness. Prophet Muhammad delivered his Final Sermon here. Muslims worldwide fast and pray, believing this day atones for sins of the past and coming year. 🌙✨
