As in all the major religions, the Bahá'í Faith has a number of Holy Days on which work is suspended and public commemorations or festivities are often organized. The nine Bahá'í Holy Days, often associated with events in the lives of the Faith's founders, are opportunities to meet the Bahá'ís in the canton and surrounding areas and to enjoy fellowship together.
