"Concerning the nature of the Nineteen-Day Feast, in the Aqdas,
Baha'u'llah clearly revealed the spiritual and social character of this
Institution. Its administrative significance, however, has been stressed
by the Guardian in direct response to the growing needs of the Baha'i
Community in this formative period of the Baha'i era for better training
in the principles and practice of Baha'i administration."
