| Special Event Days |
|
| In the United States and elsewhere, certain days, apart from the Bahá'í Holy Days, set aside (1) for proclamation or (2) to support United Nations observances. Bahá'í-initiated special event days such as World Religion Day (third Sunday in January) and Race Unity Day (second Sunday in June) are observed with the purpose of proclaiming the Faith and encouraging local government bodies to recognize the importance of these issues. |
| United Nations-sponsored and -initiated days supported by Bahá'í communities include United Nations Day (24 October), Human Rights Day (10 December) and International Day of Peace (third Tuesday in September) which in 1985 replaced the Bahá'í-initiated World Peace Day. UN special event days are observed to show support for UN activities, not to seek direct Bahá'í proclamation. |
