9TH DAY OF RIDVAN




Approximate location where Baha'u'llah revealed His station as the Manifestation of God for this age in 1863.

Illuminated verses of Baha'u'llah revealed for Ridvan.

I had a wonderful lunch at the Mansion of Mazra'ih in 1990 with fellow pilgrims.  It was a joy unalloyed.


I sketched this at the Mansion.  Not my best effort, but here it is.

The redeeming feature of the sketch is that Abdu'l-Baha was very fond of the garden, which was just beyond.

I remember talking to a little Arab girl of about 8 years old while I sketched.  I asked her where she was from.

 "Mazra'ih!" , she replied.
