June 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
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 Seattle, Washington, USA with Benjamin Spriggs, Aaron Ferguson, Camila Matamala-Ost, and Shay Morris-Doty singing “Noble Have I Created Thee” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Seattle, USA, in August 2019.
Lyrics & Quote
O SON OF SPIRIT! Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.
Baha’u’llah
