Lo, the gates of Paradise were unlocked, and the hallowed
Youth came forth bearing a serpent plain.[1] Rejoice! This is the immortal
Youth, come with crystal waters.
Upon His face was a veil woven by the fingers of might and
power. Rejoice! This is the immortal Youth, come with a mighty name.
Upon His brow there shone a beauteous crown, which cast its splendour
upon all who are in heaven and all who are on earth. Rejoice! This is the
immortal Youth, come with a mighty cause.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
