The Consolation Brought by the Pilgrims
Shoghi Effendi, Bahíyyih Khánum, (1982), p. Part III, no. 26 · Read original
When in Bahá'í history
It was through the arrival of these pilgrims, and these alone, that the gloom which had enveloped the disconsolate members of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s family was finally dispelled. Through the agency of these successive visitors the Greatest Holy Leaf, who alone with her Brother among the members of her Father’s household had to confront the rebellion of almost the entire company of her relatives and associates, found that consolation which so powerfully sustained her till the very close of her life.
