The First Day of Ridvan
Jamál (Beauty), 13 Jalál (Glory) 176 B.E. - Sunday, April 21, 2019

"This is a festival wherein all things have been adorned with the vesture of the names of God, and wherein His bounty hath compassed all things from first to last. All hail then to this, the Festival of the Lord, that hath shone above a dayspring of resplendent holiness!"
Baha’u’llah1


On the First Day of Ridvan,
the Blessed Beauty entered the Garden of Paradise
and nightingales sing.

One hundred fifty six years ago, Baha'u'llah entered a garden located on an island outside of Baghdad. This was a world changing event because while He was in this garden, which those who entered with him called Ridvan, Baha'u'llah declare that he was the one promised by the Bab and foretold in all the sacred scriptures. The time had come for the maturity and unity of humanity. The time had come for world peace, as announced in all the Holy Books.

On the First Day of Ridvan
the Best Beloved of the world entered the Garden of Paradise
and roses bloomed.

This is 2019 and, while it may not appear as if the world is any closer to World Peace, the process of the maturity of the human race is moving forward. The present condition of the planet is the fault of humanity and not God. Peace and unity is God's promise and God's will, therefor it cannot be stopped. The choice humanity has today is to assist the process or fight it, because humanity cannot stop it.
