SUMMARY:Feast of Jalál (Glory) - 183 B.E.
DESCRIPTION:The Feast of Jalál (Glory) \nWhat is Feast? \nOnce every Bahá’í month\, the community gathers for a Nineteen Day Feast. This is because Bahá’í months are nineteen days long.  Bahá’u’lláh ordained this gathering in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas\, instructing His believers to come together every month even if “only water be served”.  The gathering includes devotions\, consultation on community affairs\, and a social portion. \nBahá’u’lláh’s son\, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá\, said the following about these gatherings: \n“This feast is held to foster comradeship and love\, to call God to mind and supplicate Him with contrite hearts\, and to encourage benevolent pursuits.” \n“It rejoiceth mind and heart” \n“If this feast be held in the proper fashion\, the friends will\, once in nineteen days\, find themselves spiritually restored\, and endued with a power that is not of this world.”
