The Nineteen-days Feast has the utmost importance, that the
beloved ones may gather in a meeting, be occupied with the utmost love and
fellowship in mentioning the name of God, and speak about the glad tidings of
God, deliver the proofs and evidences of the appearance of Baha'u'llah, mention
the praiseworthy deeds and the sacrifices endured by the believers of God in
Persia, talk about the severance and the attraction of the martyrs and remember
the cooperation and the mutual assistance of the friends. Therefore this
Nineteen-day Feast is most important.
