I beseech Thee, O Creator of the heavens and Fashioner of names, to graciously aid those who have sheltered beneath the shadow of Thine abounding mercy and have raised their voices amidst the peoples of the world for the glorification of Thy Name."  - Baha'u'llah

Declaration of the Bab

Declaration of the Báb

At the Baha’i Center of Minneapolis

On Wednesday May 22nd at 9:00pm

 

“It is a blessed day and the dawn of manifestation, for the appearance of the Báb was the early light of the true morn, whereas the manifestation of the Blessed Beauty, Bahá’u’lláh, was the shining forth of the sun. Therefore, it is a blessed day, the inception of the heavenly bounty, the beginning of the divine effulgence.”

-- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

 

 

 

On that day in 1844, a traveler, a young man, frail and tired after many days on the road, was led through his prayers to the city of Shiraz after he had spent 40 days in fasting and meditation asking for guidance in his search for his beloved, the Promised One. He was welcomed into the city by a Stranger, another young man. The welcome was overwhelming, and the night proved to be even more so. ...

 

 

Please join us in happiness as we remember that most eventful night.  A delightful program is planned, with a special performance by the junior youth.
