I bear witness, O my God, that Thou hast ordained this Day
to stand unequalled amongst all the days of Thy world and unrivalled amidst all
that Thou hast fashioned through Thy creative power. This is that primal Day
which Thou hast singled out from among all other days, and exalted over all
other times, and appointed as the King of Days unto all peoples, inasmuch as
Thou didst manifest on this Day the tokens of Thy transcendent power and the
evidences of Thy holy unity. Thou hast caused its radiance to surpass the
splendour of the sun, the moon, and the stars, and to transcend the brightness
of every lofty and glorious, every shining and brilliant light. Nay, Thou hast
illumined this Day, O my Best-Beloved, with the very lights of Thine own
inaccessible Being and with the full glory of Thine own exalted Essence. - Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
