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 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
