Happy the one who entereth upon the first day of the month
of Bahá, the day which God hath consecrated to this Great Name. And blessed be
he who evidenceth on this day the bounties that God hath bestowed upon him; he,
verily, is of those who show forth thanks to God through actions betokening the
Lord’s munificence which hath encompassed all the worlds. Say: This day,
verily, is the crown of all the months and the source thereof, the day on which
the breath of life is wafted over all created things. Great is the blessedness
of him who greeteth it with radiance and joy. We testify that he is, in truth,
among those who are blissful.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
