2007 is the 800th anniversary of the birth of Rumi, the Persian poet and theologian whose followers later became known as Whirling Dervishes.
Accordingly, UNESCO has designated 2007 as The International Year of Rumi.
If you’d like to read more about Rumi, check out the Rumi Network; there’s lots of information here on him and his poetry.
