Nineteen-Day Feast
For registered members of The Baha'i Faith
Nature of Feast; Spiritual, Social and Administrative
It is my hope that this feast will be given on one day out of every nineteen, for it bringeth you closer together; it is the very well-spring of unity and loving-kindness.
- Selections from the Writings of `Abdu'l-Bahá
"Concerning the nature of the Nineteen-Day Feast, in the Aqdas, Bahá'u'lláh clearly revealed the spiritual and social character of this Institution. Its administrative significance, however, has been stressed by the Guardian in direct response to the growing needs of the Bahá'í Community in this formative period of the Bahá'í era for better training in the principles and practice of Bahá'í administration."
