This will be an in person Feast only\, there will be no Zoom option.   We warmly invite you to come and join us.  \n  \n                        Date:  Sunday\, April 27\, 2025 \n                        Time:  2:00PM ( Address was emailed to the friends directly ) \nDinner will be served after the program.  We ask that you let us know if you are coming\, via email:  siewkian2003@yahoo.com.  The reason is so that I can estimate the quantity of food I need to prepare.  Thank you! \n  \n  Beauty \n It is natural for the heart and spirit to take pleasure and enjoyment in all things \n            that show forth symmetry\, harmony\, and perfection. For instance: a beautiful house\, \n            a well-designed garden\, a symmetrical line\, a graceful motion\, a well written book\,\n           pleasing garments.  All things that have in themselves grace or beauty are pleasing\n            to the heart and spirit.  What is music? It is a combination of harmonious sounds. \n            What is poetry? It is a symmetrical collection of words. Therefore\, they are pleasing        \n             through harmony and rhythm. Poetry is much more effective and complete than prose.\n            It stirs more deeply\, for it is of a finer composition. \n  \n            …‘Abdu’l-Bahá\, A Brief Account of My Visit to Accá\, p. 11-14\n\n \n \nLove\,\nHong and Sally Foo URL:https://www.bahailv.org/event/feast-of-jamal-beauty-host-tbd/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bahailv.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Feast-of-Jamal-Beauty-600x338-1.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250427T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250427T120000 DTSTAMP:20260424T032205 CREATED:20240903T234607Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241203T033839Z UID:10001939-1745748000-1745755200@www.bahailv.org SUMMARY:Bahai Learning Center in Allentown (Lehigh Valley Center for Sight\, 1739 Fairmont Street\, Allentown 18104).
