As to the significance of that Declaration let Bahá’u’lláh
Himself reveal to us its import. Acclaiming that historic occasion as the “Most
Great Festival,” the “King of Festivals,” the “Festival of God,” He has, in His Kitáb-i-Aqdas, characterized it as the Day
whereon “all created things were immersed in the sea of purification,” whilst in
one of His specific Tablets, He has referred to it as the Day whereon “the
breezes of forgiveness were wafted over the entire creation.”
(Shoghi Effendi, ‘God
Passes By’)
