Thouths, Gratitude List, and Poem

Fiḍál (Grace), 1 Ayyám-i-Há (The Days of Há) 175 B.E. - Tuesday, February 26, 2019

“It behoveth the people of Bahá, throughout these days, to provide good cheer for themselves, their kindred and, beyond them, the poor and needy, and with joy and exultation to hail and glorify their Lord, to sing His praise and magnify His Name.”

Bahá’u’lláh

This is the first day of Ayyám-i-Há, the Days of Ha, the intercalary1 days in the Baha'i or Badi calendar2. These are wonderful days, day of joy, days to say the Intercalary Day prayer revealed by Baha'u'llah. This year I begin by reading Happy Ayyám-i-Há! What Baha’is Do During Intercalary Days   the first part of the series "Days Out of Time" on Bahaiteaching.org and saying the prayer revealed by Baha'u'llah.
