This is a festival wherein the Beauty of the Lord of
Grandeur hath been exalted above all things, and wherein He, unveiled and
unconcealed, hath proclaimed His will and purpose unto all that are in heaven
and on earth. And this is but a token of His grace that hath pervaded the
entire creation. Therein was the Temple of Bahá seated upon the throne of
eternity, and the splendours of His countenance dawned above the horizon of
creation with the light of wondrous glory. All hail then to this, the Festival
of the Lord, that hath appeared above a horizon of wondrous grace!
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
