The Revelation of the Báb may be likened to the sun, its
station corresponding to the first sign of the Zodiac—the sign Aries—which the
sun enters at the Vernal Equinox. The station of Bahá’u’lláh’s Revelation, on
the other hand, is represented by the sign Leo, the sun’s mid-summer and
highest station. By this is meant that this holy Dispensation is illumined with
the light of the Sun of Truth shining from its most exalted station, and in the
plenitude of its resplendency, its heat and glory.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet
quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The World Order of Baha’u’llah’)
