Soon the whole world, as in springtime, will change its garb. The turning and falling of the autumn leaves is past; the bleakness of the winter time is over. The New Year hath appeared and the spiritual springtime is at hand.
Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i World Faith
O Pen of the Most High! Say: O people of the world! We have enjoined upon you fasting during a brief period, and at its close have designated for you Naw-Ruz as a feast.
Baha’u’llah,
Kitab-i-Aqdas
This is the day, O my Lord, whose brightness Thou hast exalted above the brightness of the sun and the splendours thereof… This is the day whereon the hopeless have been clothed with the raiment of confidence and the sick attired with the robe of healing, and the poor drawn nigh unto the ocean of Thy riches.
