Happy Declaration of the Báb (and Eid-al-Fitr )

“Whom do you claim to be,” he asked the Báb, “and what is the message which you have brought?”

“I am,” thrice exclaimed the Báb, “I am, I am, the promised One! I am the One whose name you have for a thousand years invoked, at whose mention you have risen, whose advent you have longed to witness, and the hour of whose Revelation you have prayed God to hasten. Verily I say, it is incumbent upon the peoples of both the East and the West to obey My word and to pledge allegiance to My person.”
