Religious Holidays
For Baha'is, today marks the anniversary of the BIRTH OF THE BAB, one of
the twin Prophet Founders of the Baha'i faith. His 19 disciples, known as
Letters of the Living, taught his religion throughout 19th-century Persia.
On Friday, Hindus celebrate DASHARA or VINJAYA DASHAMI, the triumph of
the Divine Mother over evil. It also commemorates Rama's victory over the
demon Ravana. It's a time when Vijaya greetings are sent to friends and
relatives.
