Videos in honor of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

In honor of the Day of the Covenant and the Ascension of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, I wanted to share a few videos to bring inspiration to your gatherings and personal reflections. 

The Day of the Covenant commemorates the appointment of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá as the Centre of Bahá’u’lláh’s Covenant. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was the example of wisdom and insight, and of loving kindness and compassion to all. Bahá’ís around the world celebrate this special day and the day of His passing to remember ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s unique life of service to humanity.

It seems now more than ever that the example of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s life is needed in the world, so I wanted to share these videos as a gift for these special Holy Days.
