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 Paris, France with Morgane Delezir and Samy Parak who sing “Riche en pierres précieuses (Rich in Gems)” in French, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Paris, France, December 2017.

Considerez l’homme comme une mine riche en pierres precieuses d’une valeur inestimable. Seule l’education peut l’amener, a en livrer les tresors et permettre a l’humanite d’en profiter.

Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.
