Badí’ Calendar

The Badí‘ calendar (Badí‘ means wondrous or unique ), used by followers of the Bahá'í Faith, is a solar calendar with years composed of 19 months of 19 days each, (361 days) plus an extra period of "Intercalary Days". Years in the calendar begin at the vernal equinox, and are counted with the date notation of BE (Bahá'í Era), with 21 March 1844 CE being the first day of the first year, the year the Báb declared his mission.
The Badí’ calendar's implementation has changed over time, the Bahá'í scriptures left a number of issues regarding the implementation of the calendar to be resolved by the Universal House of Justice, the governing body of the Bahá'ís, before the calendar could be observed universally . Until 20 March 2015 the calendar was locked to the Gregorian calendar with the New Year always falling on March 21. However, on 10 July 2014 the Universal House of Justice announced provisions that will enable the common implementation of the calendar worldwide, beginning at sunset 20 March 2015. From 21 March 2015 the calendar is no longer locked to the Gregorian calendar and the New Year will start on the day of the vernal equinox at Tehran time.
