The B\u0101b named the months after the attributes of God. The Baha\u2019i New Year, like the ancient Persian New Year, is astronomically fixed, commencing at the March equinox (usually March 21), and the Baha\u2019i era commences with the year of the B\u0101b\u2019s declaration (i.e. 1844 A.D., 1260 A.H.) . . . It seems, therefore, fitting that the new age of unity should have a new calendar free from the objections and associations which make each of the older calendar unacceptable to large sections of the world\u2019s population, and it is difficult to see how any other arrangement could exceed in simplicity and convenience that proposed by the B\u0101b.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Reference: J.
