When in Bahá'í history
One of the last pilgrims to visit ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in the Holy Land in 1921 was Anna Kunz, the daughter of a Swiss theologian who lived in Zurich in Switzerland. She later recalled, ‘As I think of him now. I always love to think, first, of his great simplicity, his marvelous humility which knows of no self existence, and last, or better, first, of his boundless love.’
