The commemoration of
Holy Days, including the development of programs for these observances, is a
matter left to the discretion of the appropriate National and Local Spiritual
Assemblies, which are entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that such
observances are conducted in a manner in keeping with the spirit of the divine
teachings and ordinances. While it is customary for the Tablets of Visitation
to be recited at the conclusion of the Holy Day programs held at the Bahá'í World
Centre, as well as in countries of the Middle East, this practice is not
binding upon Bahá'í communities elsewhere, nor has a specific time been fixed
for the recitations to occur.
