Yes, a Bahá'í holiday, the birthday of the Báb. I assume you have some Bahá'í friends?
In the Bahá'í Faith we have two founders, both considered Messengers of God (or Manifestations of God): Siyyid Ali Mohammad, known as the Báb, and Mirza Hussayn Ali, known as Bahá'u'lláh. (See also the glossary at
