Commemoration of the Revelation of

the Súriy-i-Mulúk

17 March 1967

To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

41.1 In the 1965 Riḍván Message from the Universal House of Justice we announced that in September 1967, on the Feast of Mashíyyat, a few appointed representatives of the Bahá’í world would visit the site of the House of Bahá’u’lláh in Adrianople where the Súriy-i-Mulúk was revealed. We have decided that the six Hands of the Cause of God who will represent the Universal House of Justice at the Intercontinental Conferences in October are the ones to make this visit. Immediately following this historic act they will proceed to their respective Conferences.

41.2 For the protection of the Faith it is essential that no one, except the Hands, travel to Turkey on this occasion.

National Spiritual Assemblies are requested to make this announcement at the National Convention this year, and to repeat it in their newsletters and at other times and places as may be appropriate.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

The Universal House of Justice
