95th anniversary
On Saturday, my children and I were able to visit the gravesite of Corrine True, and say prayers in commemoration of this day when 'Abdu'l-Baha was here in Chicago in 1912. Some people sang the prayer for the Hands of the Cause, another the prayer for the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, and a quotation about "these heavenly children". It was a small and reverant group. I was able to contribute by reading a prayer that was given to Corrine by 'Abdu'l-Baha for her husband.
Prior to going to the gravesite we attended children's classes at the Center(as we do almost every Saturday) but it was special because it was the 95th anniversary of when 'Abdu'l-Baha met with the children's Sunday school class of the Baha'is in Chicago. 5 years ago, for the 90th anniversary I had taken the children, which now consist of children in the Rahmat sector of Chicago, to Lincoln Park Zoo, where 'Abdu'l-Baha visited on the 4th of May that same year. There is a photo that was taken of Him looking at the polar bears. So, of course, it was very special for us to go and see the polar bears.
Earlier this past week, I had taken my children to Lincoln Park Zoo, forgetting about the connection and they had requested for the first time to see the polar bears.
