    Bahá'í Symbols


    'O Glory of the All-Glorious'

    .....It is the name of comfort, protection, happiness, illumination, love and unity."

    `Abdu'l-Bahá; United States supplement to Bahá'í News, No. 80, p.2, October 1964

    The ringstone symbol was designed by `Abdu'l-Bahá (the son of Bahá'u'lláh) and rendered by Mishkin-Qalam, a close companion of His and the leading calligrapher of Persia.

    The three levels of the ringstone represent (from highest to lowest) The world of God, the world of his manifestations, and the world of man. The line joining all three levels represents the link between the world of God and the world of man, in the same way as the Manifestations form the link between thee two worlds. The twin stars at the top of the ringstone represent the "twin manifestations" of this age, namely Bahá'u'lláh and The Báb.


    'O Glory of the All-Glorious'

    This symbol is also a representation of "The Greatest Name". The meaning is the same as the ringstone, without the representational qualities the ringstone holds. This symbol holds the same power as the ringstone, but is not as commonly seen on rings, necklaces and other jewelry as the ringstone.


    'The Nine Pointed Star'

    The Nine Pointed Star has its nine points as a representation of the number nine, a holy number in the Faith. The see the nine pointed star as a sign of unity as well as a sign of the Faith.
