Every year on the anniversary [30 September 1912] of the
ascension of that blessed soul [Thornton Chase] the friends must visit his tomb
on behalf of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and in the utmost lowliness and humility should with
all respect lay on his grave wreaths of flowers and spend all the day in quiet
prayer, while turning their faces toward the Kingdom of Signs and mentioning
and praising the attributes of that illustrious person.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
