A BAHAI Holy Day gathering in Swindon featured a special painting.

Chris Granger, from Bradford-on-Avon, created the 19 panel work called The Dawnbreakers, displayed during the celebration at a member's home in The Prinnels, West Swindon.

It shows key moments from the early years of the Bahais in Persia.

Members of the faith believe in the unity of the entire human race under God. Chris said he was inspired to create the piece when he visited the Bahai World Centre in Haifa last year.
