1 Ayyam-i-Ha 162 B.E. February 25-26, 2006 A.D.
On the first day of Ayyam-i-Ha, I went to Spiritual Services at the Baha’i Center in Las Vegas. The Sunrise Manor Study Circle planned today’s service and the Las Vegas Baha’i Choir sing accompanied by a pianist. The subject of the spiritual service was the Fast and everyone who attended received a gift from the Study Circle that planned the services. The gift that everyone received was a Meditation Journal For the Fast.
The Sunrise Manor (one of the nine townships in Las Vegas) created and printed the meditation journal. The journal consists of a front and back cover, the back cover has a picture of a sunrise shining through clouds. The front cover has a Fast Prayer and the title of the journal. Inside are nineteen pages with a quote from the Baha’i scriptures at the top and seventeen blank lines to write down your thoughts. On the twentieth page is a longer Fast Prayer revealed by Baha’u’llah.
I will begin the meditation journal on the morning of March 2 when the Fast begins. I am looking forward to Fast, it is a spiritual time, a time for reflection, it occurs in the last month of year and after the fast then Naw-Ruz is celebrated. I am looking forward to celebrating Naw-Ruz on the evening of March 20. In fact, I am looking forward to the coming year.
