(literally, New Day) The Baha'i New Year. Like the ancient Persian New Year, it occurs on the spring equinox, which generally falls on 21 March. If the equinox falls after sunset on 21 March, Naw-Ruz is celebrated on 22 March, since the Baha'i day begins at sunset. For the Present, however, the celebration of Naw-Ruz is fixed on 21 March. In the Baha'i calendar, Naw-Ruz falls on the day of Baha of the month of Baha.
