In reply to Kristine Leonard Asuncion Young. I hadn't heard of most of this! I had sung choral versions of The Battle Hymn several times, of course, but the rest of this? Makes you wonder how much of our history has been forgotten.

Thanks Anne! Seems this has become a favourite article over the years! I had never heard of the wearing of white or red roses as you describe at the beginning. Very poignant! ❤️

I loved learning about the amazing Julia Ward Howe and her stunning Mother’s Day Proclamation, as well as the marvelous quotes from the Baha’i Writings. Thanks for this Mother’s Day treat, Anne.

Let’s recall that the original version of The Battle Hymn of the Republic reads “Mine eyes have seen the coming of The Glory of the Lord.” Since they didn’t know that Bahá’u’lláh had come, they switched the order: “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.”
