A gift of flowers, cookies and cards In Vanuatu, the community arranged bouquets of flowers bursting with color, they baked cookies and joined in song to bring joy to the hearts of their friends and neighbors on the bicentenary of the birth of the Báb. The children carefully colored in cards on which an opening gate was depicted, recalling the station of the Báb as the Gate and Herald of Bahá’u’lláh.
