Magnified, then, be this Day whereon Thou hast revealed unto
all things the effulgent lights of Thy glorious unity and cast upon all
creation the radiance of Thy sovereign and transcendent oneness, the Day
whereon Thou hast lifted the veil of concealment from the countenance of Thy
beauty; burned away, through Thy gracious favour, the shrouds of idle fancy
blinding the eyes of the people; and summoned all to partake of Thy nearness
and reunion. Immensely glorified be this Day whereon the oceans of splendour
and grace have surged and the rivers of bounty and justice have flowed, a Day
whereon Thy bounty hath attained such a degree that every stammering tongue
hath celebrated Thy praise, every blind eye hath beheld the lights of Thy
beauty, and every deaf ear hath hearkened unto the glorious strains of the Dove
of Thy oneness. - Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
