This is the Day whereon the Sun of Beauty dawned above the
horizon of the countenance of God, the Most Exalted, the Most Great, and the
clouds of bounty rained down, and the trees of Paradise yielded such fruits as
God hath apportioned to them that turn unto Him with radiant hearts in this
Dispensation. Blessed, then, be God, Who hath ordained this surpassing grace!
This is the Day whereon the spirits departed from their
bodies in their eagerness to behold the unveiled countenance of the Ancient
Beauty. Blessed, then, be the One Who hath manifested this mighty Day!
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of remembrance’)
