A few days ago an
epistle was written to those divine believers, but because these days are the
days of Naw-Rúz, you have come to my mind and I am sending you this greeting
for this glorious feast. All the days are blessed, but this feast is the
national fête of Persia. The Persians have been holding it for several thousand
years past. In reality every day which man passes in the mention of God, the
diffusion of the fragrances of God and calling the people to the Kingdom of
God, that day is his feast. Praise be to God that you are occupied in the
service of the Kingdom of God and are engaged in the promulgation of the
religion of God by day and by night. Therefore all your days are feast days.
There is no doubt that the assistance and the bestowal of God shall descend
upon you.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of the Divine Plan’)
