From the evening of March 1st until the evening of March 20th, is the Bahá'í month of Fasting. During this month, Bahá'ís abstain from food and drink between sunrise and sunset.
During one of the mornings of the Fast I was watching the sunrise from our balcony, and was quite in awe about the majesty of this phenomenon. The first video below conveys the sense of expectation, the stirrings in all of creation, just seconds before the sun appears over the mountains on the horizon. The second video shows how, once it has made its appearance, it instantly exerts a powerful influence and quickly gathers in strength and momentum.... (unfortunately I didn't capture the exact moment the sun appeared... perhaps during one of the remaining mornings...)
