“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the splendor of our God.” —Baha’u’llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf (stating an excerpt from Isaiah)

Roses blooming in the desert, birds singing, humanity witnessing the glory and splendor of God! This set of prayer beads reflects all that in the earth-toned beads, the bird and flowers on the focal bead, the carved rose bead, and a touch of blue symbolizing a desert oasis—all metaphorically referring to this new dispensation.
