The Guardian trusts that the explanation he has given by wire regarding the suspension for a
period of nine months of Bahá'í religious festivity
has been made clear. The Nineteen Day Feast being
of a quasi-administrative character should continue
to be held, but should be conducted with the utmost
simplicity and should be devoid of any features
associated with feasts and entertainment. The
celebration of Naw-Rúz, the anniversary of the
birth of Bahá'u'lláh and of the Báb should be
altogether cancelled as a token of our deep mourning
for so distinguished and precious a member of
Bahá'u'lláh's family. The period of nine months
should be reckoned from the 15th of July to the 15th
of April.
