Featured in: The Birth of Baha’u’llah
Mirza Husayn-Ali, who is known to the world by His title, Baha’u’llah, was born in Tehran, Iran on 12 November, 1817. Baha’u’llah means “Glory of God” in Arabic and He is the Prophet-Founder of the Baha’i Faith. The anniversary of the day He was born is celebrated alongside the Birth of the forerunner of His Revelation, the Bab. These Twin Holy Days are celebrated annually as one festival where the closely interwoven missions of these two Divine Luminaries are remembered together.
“Debes Agradecer a Dios”, which translates as “We Must Thank God”, is a song created by Lights of Guidance, an indigenous family band from Bolivia. Sung in Spanish, this folk-style song was created to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Birth of Baha’u’llah.
You can read an interview with one of the band members, here on Baha’i Blog.
