INVITATIONs FOR YOU
The Baháʼís of Bethlehem warmly invites you to TWO up-coming events:
First, A Baháʼí Holy Day: The 100th Anniversary of the Ascension of ʻAbdu’l-Bahá
(the Son of the Prophet-Founder of the Baháʼí Faith) 1844-1921
12:30 AM November 27th (very early Saturday morning)

ʻAbdu’l-Bahá
ʻAbbás Effendi was Baháʼu’lláh’s eldest Son, known by the title of ʻAbdu’l-Bahá (Servant of Bahá). His Father left a will that appointed ʻAbdu’l-Bahá as the leader of the Baháʼí community, and designated him as the “Centre of the Covenant”, “Head of the Faith”, and the sole authoritative interpreter of Baháʼu’lláh’s writings. ʻAbdu’l-Bahá had shared His Father’s long exile (1852 – 1892) and imprisonment, which continued until ʻAbdu’l-Bahá’s own release as a result of the Young Turk Revolution. Following His release He led a life of travelling, speaking, teaching, and maintaining correspondence with communities of believers and individuals, expounding the principles of the Baháʼí Faith
