Feast of Splendour
Feast of Splendour:
To the Blessed Beauty

"O Son of My Handmaid!
Quaff from the tongue of the merciful the stream of divine mystery, and behold from the dayspring of divine utterance the unveiled splendor of the day-star of wisdom. Sow the seeds of My divine wisdom in the pure soil of the heart, and water them with the waters of certitude, that the hyacinths of knowledge and wisdom may spring up fresh and green from the holy city of the heart."

Bahá’u’lláh from The Hidden Words1

On the table of the New Year,
the fruits of splendor wait
for the festivities
to begin.

It is a new day,
the Lord's Supper is transformed
into a celebration of glory
and light.

The excellence
of the food is only surpassed
by the resplendence
on the faces
of the attendees.
