Ridvan celebrates Baha’u’llah’s time in 1863 in the garden of Ridvan in Baghdad when He publicly declared His station as a Manifestation of God. The Ridvan Festival is 12 days long and is also the time of year when Baha’is elect their governing bodies.
Shadows’ is a song composed by Tamara Duncan, and is based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.
Tamara sings the passage with the help of a few of her fellow school-mates who all attend Townshend International School, a Baha’i-inspired school in the Czech Republic.
Lyrics & Quote
