Nothing has been found in the Bahá'í Writings requiring the
friends to stand and face the Qiblih whenever the Tablets of Visitation are
recited. No issue should be made of this matter when a Holy Day observance is
being held. However, when one is actually in, or within the precincts of one of
the Holy Shrines, it is an act of simple reverence to stand and face that
Shrine when the Tablet of Visitation is recited. (From a letter dated 19 August
1992 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual
believer)
