Months of Mourning
On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Bahíyyih Khánum, (1982), p. Part IV, no. 26 · Read original
When in Bahá'í history
These nine months during which the Guardian has asked the friends to discard feast days, are meant to be months of mourning for the passing away of the Greatest Holy Leaf. The friends should also use it as a period of redoubled energy in serving the Cause in expression of our deep love for her as well as for the Cause she so much suffered for.
