Say: This is the Dawn whereat the evil ones were debarred
from approaching the realm of might and grandeur, and wherein the hearts of
such as have contended with God, the Almighty, the All-Glorious, the
Unconstrained, were lacerated. This is the Dawn whereat the faces of the wicked
were darkened, whilst the countenances of the righteous shone forth with the
light of this Beauty, a Beauty Whose advent all things visible and invisible,
and beyond them the company of the Concourse on high, have eagerly awaited. All
hail the appearance of this Spirit, through Whose potency the dead have been
stirred up in their tombs and every mouldering bone brought to life! - Baha’u’llah (Tablet of the Birth; ‘Days of Remembrance’)
