220 YEAR NINE, The
"The `Year Nine' is an abbreviation of 1269 A.H. The
beginning of the Year Nine occurred about two months after
His (Bahá'u'lláh's) imprisonment in that dungeon. We do not
know the exact time He received this first intimation... We
therefore regard the entire Year Nine as a Holy Year, and the
emphasis should be placed ... on the entire year, which started
in October, 1852. This means our Centenary Year of Celebration
will be from October, 1952 to October, 1953."
