National Baha'i Day in Jamaica
National Baha'i Day in Jamaica is held on July 25. The Baha'i era was inaugurated in 1844 with the declaration of the Bab, the messenger of God who proclaimed the closing of the present era and promised the coming of one who would open the next era, fulfilled in the person of Bahaullah, the prophet for this age. This event in the third decade of the month July is annual.

The Baha’i Faith began in Jamaica in 1942, with the arrival of Dr. Malcolm King. A local spiritual Assembly was held in Kingston Jamaica in 1943 and the first Baha’i was elected. Then the Jamaican Baha’i became organized under the National Spiritual Assembly of the Greater Antilles.
In 1961, the Baha’i elected a National Spiritual Assembly for themselves. However, it was not until July 25, 2003 that the Baha’i faith became a recognized religion in Jamaica.
The Governor General at that time, Sir Howard Cooke declared the first National Day for the Baha’i on July 25.
The Baha'i community numbering just under 100 can be found mainly in Fairy Hill, Drapers, Port Antonio, St. Magaret's Bay, Hope Bay, Skeebo and Charles Town in Portland.
