This day commemorates Baha’u’llah’s appointment of his eldest son, Abdu’l-Baha, as his successor and protector of the Covenant of Baha’u’llah. After the death of Baha’u’llah in 1892, Abdu’l-Baha fulfilled his father’s mission, traveling to the United States, Canada, and Europe as an ambassador of peace and the leading exponent of the new religion.
