14 Jalal 163 B.E. April 21-22, 2006
Greatest of all Baha’i Festivals
Public declaration of Baha’u’llah’s mission
12 days beginning on April 21
First, ninth and twelfth Holy Days – work suspended
Garden in Baghdad where Baha’u’llah lived before his departure from the city in 1863
Roses and nightingales always remind me of the Festival of Ridvan
Prayers and the sacred writing
Tablet of Visitation read at 3:00 p.m.
Days to Remember pages 31 to 58
Music and food at celebrations of Ridvan
Joy and happiness
Glory and Beauty
I am creating a poem
Rose water scents my hands
Rose water gives flavor the sweets and deserts
Paradise echoes with the voice of the Beloved
Roses scent the morning air
Heaps of roses hide the face of the Beloved
Prayers chanted echo through the garden
