To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

5.1 The Universal House of Justice has asked us to inform you that a few days before the inaugural events associated with the official` opening of the Terraces of the Shrine of the Báb, a monument was raised over the resting place of the Hand of the Cause of God Amatu’l-Bahá Rúḥíyyih Khánum opposite the House of the Master in Haifa. Landscaping work is being carried out in the surrounding garden.

5.2 The monument, commissioned by the House of Justice and designed by Mr. Hossein Amanat, is depicted on the enclosed photograph.³ The friends, holding such affection and devotion for beloved Rúḥíyyih Khánum, will no doubt be delighted to learn of this achievement.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

Department of the Secretariat
