Title: Bring Us the Flame


Bring Us the Flame  Open in new Window. was written by Shadi Toloui-Wallace to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab in 2019. The Birth of the Bab is one of the most joyful occasions celebrated by the Baha'is across the world. The two hundred birthday of the Bab was especially joyful. To find out how the Bab's two hundredth birth day was celebrated worldwide see Bicentenary 2019  Open in new Window..


Oh, Thou Lamp of the Remembrance of God,
Thou who ignited
the Letters of the Living2
with the flame of God's love.

OH, Though Light of Divine Guidance,
Thank you,
for the inspiration
I receive
from the prayers you revealed.

The Twin Holy Days--the Birth of the Bab and the Birth of Baha'u'llah--are celebrated every year on the first and second days following the eighth new moon after Naw-Ruz. The date of Naw-Ruz, which is celebrated on the day vernal equinox, occurs when the vernal equinox occurs at the birthplace of Baha'u'llah. The calendar used by the Baha'is for holy day celebrations is the Badi or Baha'i Calendar.

Invocation1

O Primal Point, did stellar dust generate
New stars at Thy nativity? Radiant
Stars shining brightly within their stellar
Nurseries. Thine own companions shining.

O Gate of God, the darkness of dogma's night
Thy rising light did scatter, send scurrying.
Thy brightly shining star did waken
Out of a dreamless sleep men of wisdom.
