Counting the Days

Counting the days until
it's time to gather--
either online or in person--
to celebrate
Feasts or Holy Days:
         17 days until the Feast of Jalal (Glory);
         29 days until the First Day of Ridvan;
         37 days until the Ninth Day of Ridvan;
         40 days until the Twelfth Day of Ridva.

Will these days become like Naw-Ruz,
when shelter-in-place
became celebrate-in-place?
