The Guardian Part 15: The Institution of the Hands of the Cause (1951-1952)

✻ ✻ ✻ SUMMARY OF THIS VIDEO ✻ ✻ ✻

Part 15 centers on three main events: the appointment of the first and second contingent of living Hands of the Cause, the enlargement of the International Bahá’í Council, and the development of the gardens at Bahji. There are many incredibly touching pilgrimage moments in this section: the pilgrimages of Musa and Samihih Banani, Jalal Khadhih, Corinne True, Ugo Giachery. We see the arrival of two men (both Hands of the Cause) who will collaborate and serve the Guardian to their fullest for the next five years with their incredible capacities and ability for hard work: Ugo Giachery and Leroy Ioas.
