77 FEAST (Time for Holding)
"Regarding the time for the holding of the Nineteen- Day Feasts and elections; the Guardian would advise your Assembly to urge the friends to hold such gatherings on the prescribed day before sunset. If impossible, then it is permissible to hold them on the preceding day. In connection with the nine holy days, however, the friends should consider it obligatory to celebrate them on the prescribed day before sunset." (30:4)

78 FEASTS (Attendance at)
"Attendance at 19- Day Feasts is not obligatory but very important, and every believer should consider it a duty and a privilege to be present on such occasions." (30:5)
