In 1844, Siyyid Ali-Muhammad (known by His title, the Bab, which means "the Gate") announced that He was the bearer of a Divine Revelation whose aim was to prepare the world for a Messenger of God--Baha'u'llah. The anniversary of that declaration is celebrated by Baha'is and their friends all over the world.
Luke Slott has released a music video and song based on Baha’u’llah’s Hur-i-Ujab, or the Tablet of the Wondrous Maiden, a tablet which describes the Wondrous Maiden, the personification of the Holy Spirit as experienced by Baha’u’llah, just as how in other religious dispensations, the Holy Spirit has been personified as a Sacred Fire, a Burning Bush, a Dove, and the Angel Gabriel, to name a few.
You can read the Tablet of the Wondrous Maiden in its entirety on the Baha’i Reference Library here, and read more about Baha’u’llah’s experiences in this excerpt from God Passes By.
