O Pen of the Most High! Say: O people of the world! We have enjoined upon you fasting during a brief period, and at its close have designated for you Naw-Ruz as a feast. Thus hath the Day-Star of Utterance shone forth above the horizon of the Book as decreed by Him Who is the Lord of the beginning and the end.
Thus revealed Baha’u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas.
We had a wonderful Naw-Ruz celebration last night. Forty or fifty friends from our community and neighbouring communities gathered in one of the larger homes for prayers, food and fun. Our hosts, Iranians, had a Haft Sin table and provided generous quantities of beautiful food. We talked at high volume and laughed and shared our joy at the beginning of the Baha’i year 164.
