This week in World Religion: February 26 - March 1

*    Intercalary Days * - Baha'i


The Intercalary Days, or "Days of Ha," occur between the eighteenth  and 
nineteenth months of the Baha'i Calendar (February 26 to March 1  
inclusive), and end one day before the Baha'i fast begins. There are  
four Intercalary Days in ordinary and five in leap years. These are  
days of preparation for the Fast; days of hospitality, charity,  
ministering to the poor and sick, the giving of presents, and so on.
