Baha'is enjoyed the pilau and roast meat in the feast hosted by Mirza Ahmad Sohrab

Mirza Ahmad Sohrab and Shaykh Muhammad Husayn, both from Nayriz, hosted a feast on 16 April, a mid-day lunch at the Pilgrim House near the Shrine of the Bab. Few were given this privilege. More than 100 men were present to enjoy the pilau, roast meat and sour milk spread on the table. With so many present and only 28 able to sit at the table at one time, they had to eat in four shifts. ‘Abdu’l-Baha ate with the first group then retired to his room in the house of ‘Abbas-Quli.
