Use both Bahá'í Dates and the Gregorian for now[edit]

"It is advisable to use both the Bahá'í dates, according to the Bahá'í Calendar, and the usual Gregorian dates as well. The friends at present are free to do as they please."

(From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer, December 24, 1943: Bahá'í News, No. 173, February 1945, p. 11, in Lights of Guidance, no. 373)

(Anticipation of House of Justice choosing uniform system for celebration of the Declaration of the Báb)[edit]

"In regard to the question submitted to your Assembly by the Bahá'í group at Maui, Hawaii, concerning the passage on page 88 of the book 'Bahá'í Administration,'

"...The Guardian wishes me to inform you that the festivals of the Declaration of the Báb and the birthday of 'Abdu'l-Bahá referred to in that passage as having been celebrated on the twenty-second of November, 1925, by the Bahá'ís of the Orient, are based on the lunar calendar. For this reason the date of the celebration is not fixed, but shifts every year. Eventually as the Master has explicitly stated, a uniform system will have to be established by the International House of Justice."

(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Directives from the Guardian, p. 7)
