Blessed art thou, O night [Birth of the Báb]! 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 (‘Days of Remembrance’)
