sun setting on Christmas l
"As day follows night,
and after sunset comes the dawn,
so Jesus Christ appeared on the horizon of this world
like a Sun of Truth; even so when the people --
after forgetting the teachings of Christ
and His example of love to all humanity --
had again grown tired of material things,
a heavenly Star shone once more in Persia,
a new illumination appeared
and now a great light is spreading throughout all lands."
Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 82
