Dear Friends, We were thrilled to learn that you will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Baha'i Faith in the Faroe Islands at Naw Ruz. Congratulations! We will remember you in our prayers, and encourage Baha'is from our city to consider how they could assist your community in the years ahead.
This year the 23 Baha'is in Bærum will be responsible for organising the Naw Ruz party for 'cluster 25', which consists of the cities of Oslo, Bærum and Asker. We are expecting more than 100 guests, including some professional entertainment. We will remember you on that particular day and mention that you will be celebrating your 50th anniversary on this day.
With warm Baha'i love, The Baha'i Community of Bærum

Kæru vinir, Bestu kveðjur og árnaðaróskir í tilefni þess að 50 ára eru liðin frá því að Eskil Ljungberg, riddari Bahá'u'lláh, kynnti fyrst trúna í Færeyjum. - Eðvarð T. Jónsson

Dear friends Life is always very busy and there never seems to be enough time... but since receiving your email I have been remembering the days I spent in the Faroe Islands and the time I spend with Eskil Ljungberg - what a wonderful man he was!
I can remember him telling me how frightened he was to go to Haifa and to meet the Guardian because he loved him so much he thought that he would never want to leave him. He said "I promised the Guardian (Shoghi Effendi) that I would pioneer to the Faroe Islands and I intend to lay my bones here". Which, as we all know, he did. And what a welcome there must have been waiting for Eskil when he passed to the next world. I'm sure Shoghi Effendi was the first in line to put his arms around Eskil and give him a BIG hug.
I would really appreciate it if you would say a prayer for Eskil at his grave side on my behalf on the 22nd March. This picture on your web site it just how I remember Eskil. God bless him.
Lots of love and best wishes to you all. - Tony Fleming

On 21 March 2003, the Baha'i community commenced a year of memorial activities celebrating 50 years in the Faroe Islands. The year was dedicated to the memory of Eskil Ljungberg (1886 - 1985), the first Baha'i in the Faroes. An exhibition entitled "Greetings and Congratulations from Around the World", was open to the public, and featured a reception on 22 March, 15:00, in the Baha'i Centre. On display were numerous picture postcards and messages sent to the Baha'is of the Faroes in honour of the occasion. The exhibit was open to the public every Tuesday (20:00 - 21:00) and Sunday (14:00 - 16:00) through 15 April. Activities throughout the year included various exhibits and the publication of a booklet about the life of Eskil Ljungberg.
