In the name of the One born on this day, Him Whom God hath
made to be the Herald of His name, the Almighty, the All-Loving!
This is a Tablet We have addressed unto that night wherein
the heavens and the earth were illumined by a Light that cast its radiance over
the entire creation.
Blessed art thou, O night! For through thee was born the Day
of God, a Day which We have ordained to be the lamp of salvation unto the
denizens of the cities of names, the chalice of victory unto the champions of
the arenas of eternity, and the dawning-place of joy and exultation unto all
creation.
- Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet concerning the Birth of the Báb; ‘Days of
remembrance’)
