Juliet Thompson was an American artist who visited with ’Abdu’l-Baha many times, traveling to Haifa to meet Him, and then visiting Him during His travels in Europe. On April 11, 1912, when ’Abdu’l-Baha stepped off the steamship Cedric on to American shores, Juliet was there to greet Him.
We are fortunate that she left a written account of her visits with the Master, and His love, compassion, courage, and humor, as well as her love and admiration for Him, are evident throughout her writings.
To read more about her fascinating life, see this post at Baha'i Heroes and Heroines, and to read her accounts of these visits, see The Diary of Juliet Thompson.
