SUMMARY:Observation for the Ascension of Baha'u'llah.   Click here for details.
DESCRIPTION:Forwarding this on behalf of Laura Lawrence & Tammy Kita of the Baha’i Holy Day Committee:\n \n\nDear Friends in the Lehigh Valley\,  \n \nThis is a reminder that the Ascension of Baha’u’llah should be commemorated on Friday morning\, May 29th\, at 4:00 AM. \n \nDue to the unusual hour\, it is suggested that it be observed privately\, in your home w family. Perhaps you could read what the Beloved Guardian wrote about that evening in “God Passes By” and sing or say prayers.\n \nSacred times like these are especially precious because they are held in the stillness of the middle of the night.\n\nFinally\, please note that the published hour of observance is 3:00 AM but we must make an allowance due to DST. \n\n \nHave a blessed observance. \n \nLaura on behalf of the Holy Days Committee
