'As to the
significance of that Declaration let Bahá'u'lláh Himself reveal to us its
import. Acclaiming that historic occasion as the "Most Great
Festival," the "King of Festivals," the "Festival of
God," He has, in His Kitáb-i-Aqdas, characterized it as
the Day whereon "all created things were immersed in the sea of
purification," whilst in one of His specific Tablets, He has referred to
it as the Day whereon "the breezes of forgiveness were wafted over the
entire creation." "Rejoice, with exceeding gladness, O people of
Baha!", He, in another Tablet, has written, "as ye call to
remembrance the Day of supreme felicity, the Day whereon the Tongue of the
Ancient of Days hath spoken, as He departed from His House proceeding to the
Spot from which He shed upon the whole of creation the splendors of His Name,
the All-Merciful...'
