La fête traditionnelle de Nowruz, dont dérive la fête baha’ie, est célébrée depuis l’Antiquité en Iran et est observée par des peuples culturellement adjacents en Azerbaïdjan, Turquie, Irak, Armenia, Georgia, Russie, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syrie, et le Tadjikistan. Le Bab, le fondateur du babisme, puis Baháʼu’lláh, le fondateur de la foi baháʼíe, ont adopté ce jour comme un jour saint et l’ont associé au plus grand nom de Dieu.
La fête baha’ie telle qu’elle est maintenant calculée ne tombe pas toujours le même jour que la fête traditionnelle (mais peut différer d’un jour) et n’intègre pas un certain nombre de pratiques culturelles persians associées à la fête traditionnelle, mais est un événement religieux avec des lectures des écritures baha’ies.
The Báb, the founder of the Bábi religion, instituted the Badí' calendar consisting of 19 months, each of 19 days. The first month and the first day of each month are both named Bahá, an Arabic word meaning splendor or glory. Thus Naw-Rúz, the first day of the year, is the day of Bahá in the month of Bahá. The Báb called this day the Day of God and was associated with the One whom God will make manifest, a messianic figure in the writings of the Báb.
Baháʼu'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith who is recognized as the messianic figure expected by the Báb, adopted the new calendar and the use of Naw-Rúz as a holy day. The day follows the Bahá'í month of fasting, and he explained that Naw-Rúz was associated with the greatest name of God and was instituted as a feast for those who observed the fast.
The symbolic notion of the renewal of time in every religious dispensation has been made explicit by the writings of the Báb and Baháʼu'lláh, and the calendar and the new year have made this spiritual metaphor more concrete. ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, the son and successor of Baháʼu'lláh, explained the significance of Naw-Rúz in terms of springtime and the new life it brings. He explained that the Equinox is a symbol of the Manifestations of God, which include Jesus, Muhammad, the Báb and Baháʼu'lláh among others, and the message they proclaim is like a spiritual spring, and that Naw-Rúz is used to commemorate this.
