I swear by Thy glory, O Fashioner of names and Creator of
earth and heaven! The tongues of Thy creatures are powerless to render thanks
for the favours Thou hast bestowed upon them in this Day, a Day from which Thou
hast made all Thy days to proceed. This is the Day whereon Thou hast summoned
the well-favoured to the Dayspring of Thy nearness and the sincere to the
Dawning-Place of the light of Thy countenance. This is the Day concerning which
Thou didst covenant with every Prophet to herald unto all the advent of Him Who
shall be manifested therein with Thy sovereign might and celestial power. - Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
