To the Baha'is of the Faroe Islands: Alláh'u'Abhá dear friends, Blessings on your 50th anniversary! I was planning to send a postcard for this special occasion, but I doubt it would arrive there before March 22, so I am attaching a picture of the Baha'i Temple Site which is located near Bogota, Colombia.

On 21 March 2003, the Baha'i community commenced a year of memorial activities celebrating 50 years in the Faroe Islands. The year was dedicated to the memory of Eskil Ljungberg (1886 - 1985), the first Baha'i in the Faroes. An exhibition entitled "Greetings and Congratulations from Around the World", was open to the public, and featured a reception on 22 March, 15:00, in the Baha'i Centre. On display were numerous picture postcards and messages sent to the Baha'is of the Faroes in honour of the occasion. The exhibit was open to the public every Tuesday (20:00 - 21:00) and Sunday (14:00 - 16:00) through 15 April. Activities throughout the year included various exhibits and the publication of a booklet about the life of Eskil Ljungberg.
