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.
