Summon, then, the maids of eternity to hasten forth from
their crimson chambers in their celestial grace, and to appear betwixt earth
and heaven with the most glorious adorning. Grant them leave, then, to pass
round to the inhabitants of the world, high and low alike, that cup of life
which hath been drawn from the heavenly stream of mercy. All hail then to this,
the Festival of the Lord, that hath appeared above the horizon of holiness with
wondrous rapture!
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
