Description
Attend an interfaith celebration of springtime & "Nowruz" (the Persian New Year) at the Sandy Spring Museum. This program will provide food for the body, mind & spirit! We'll start with some ethnic and cultural presentations accompanied by a delicious "potluck" feast. (Please bring foods to share that represents your culture, vegetarian preferred). We'll then share in an interfaith panel with speakers from the Baha'i, Coptic Christian, Persian/Iranian Sufi, and Zoroastrian faiths on the theme of "Spiritual Renewal and Springtime."
No Nowruz would be complete without an offering of the ecstatic Sufi poetry of Jalaluddin Rumi; we'll be reading in both Farsi and English. Our afternoon will conclude with an Interfaith Peace Circle for participants to offer their prayers and thoughts for peace and renewal. Doors open at 2:45 pm.
