The Bahá’í Community of Belfast
The members of the community live and work in all parts of the city and represent a wide range of backgrounds, ages, cultures, interests and talents.
The community meets every 19 days (Nineteen Day Feast) to have a devotional (to pray, read the writings of Baha’u’llah, play music, sing), followed by consultation and then a social part.
The Bahá’í Community also comes together to celebrate the Bahá’í Holy days (9 throughout the year).
A variety of activities occur regularly in Belfast which the Bahá’í community supports, activities such as devotional meetings, study circles and children’s classes.
The first Local Spiritual Assembly of Belfast, the local governing body of the Bahá’ís of Belfast, was formed in 1950, and celebrated its fiftieth anniversary at the Belfast Castle in 2000.
