First Day of the new year March 21

طوبى لمن فاز باليوم الاوّل من شهر البهآء الّذي جعله الله لهذا الاسم العظيم. طوبى لمن يظهر فيه نعمة الله على نفسه انّه ممّن اظهر شكر الله بفعله المدلّ على فضله الّذي احاط العالمين. قل انّه لصدر الشّهور ومبدئها وفيه تمرّ نفحة الحيوة على الممكنات طوبى لمن ادركه بالرّوح والرّيحان نشهد انّه من الفآئزين. بهاء الله - الأقدس

"Happy the one who entereth upon the first day of the month of Baha, the day which God hath consecrated to this Great Name. And blessed be he who evidenceth on this day the bounties that God hathbestowed upon him; he, verily, is of those who show forth thanks to God through actions be tokening the Lord's munificence which hath encompassed all the worlds. Say: This day, verily, is the crown of all the months and the source thereof, the day on which the breath of life is wafted over all created things. Great is the blessedness of him who greeteth it with radiance and joy. We testify that he is, in truth, among those who are blissful..." (Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Aqdas)
