The immortal Lua, mother-teacher of the American Bahá'í Community,
herald of the dawn of the Day of the Covenant, has been ceremoniously
and reverently transferred by Egyptian brethren representing the local
Bahá'í communities to the immediate vicinity of the grave of far-famed
&Abu'l-Fadl in the newly established Bahá'í cemetery in Cairo. The
&Isma'iliyyih believers together with Assembly delegates of Egypt have held an
inaugural ceremony at the second Bahá'í cemetery allocated by the Egyptian
authorities. The sacred rights of the persecuted, expelled community,
repeatedly denied legitimate burial, are now vindicated. The progressive
emancipation of the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh from the traditional shackles of
religious
orthodoxy is increasingly evident and humbly, gratefully recognized by
followers of the Faith the world over.
