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.
Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Tilburg, the Netherlands with Naim Pilon, Miad Badiee and Justus Bos, singing “This Is The Day” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Tilburg, the Netherlands, November 2017.
Here is the quote used for the lyrics, followed by the chords:
Lyrics & Quote
This is the Day in which God’s most excellent favors have been poured out upon men, the Day in which His most mighty grace hath been infused into all created things. It is incumbent upon all the peoples of the world to reconcile their differences, and, with perfect unity and peace, abide beneath the shadow of the Tree of His care and loving-kindness.
Baha’u’llah
