In a recent Baha’i World News Service article, we learned that 43 images associated with the life and mission of the Bab have been published online for the first time on the Baha’i Media Bank. This also includes aerial footage of the Shrine of the Bab that we turned into this short video.
The Bab, which means ‘the Gate’ in Arabic, was a Messenger of God, whose role can be likened to that of John the Baptist (who told of the coming of Christ) in heralding the coming of the latest Manifestation of God: Baha’u’llah.
This year marks the Bicentennial of the Birth of the Bab, so Baha’is around the world will undoubtedly be celebrating this special occasion, and we are always grateful when the Baha’i World Centre releases media that can potentially be used for this special time.
From these new photographs now on the Baha’i Media Bank, we thought we’d showcase six photos of personal objects that belonged to the Bab.
The Bab’s signet ring
The Quran belonging to the Bab
Prayer beads belonging to the Bab
Cap worn by the Bab beneath His turban

Wau, wau, wau! Wunderschöne Sachen von Bab. Dieser Ring? Super schön! Einzigartig! Tank very so much Naysan
Yesterday, I saw the personal belongings of Baha’u’llah on YouTube and was really pleased with His beautiful fetz. I’ve read about Bab’s remaining stuff, but never seen it. I am very much looking forward to Bahablog today. All the Team Naysan best regards and thank you 10000x
These show how delicate and graceful the Báb was, and that such sweet, youthful and soft Soul having gone through the degree of suffering that He did, leading to His martyrdom, is by itself incredibly heart aching.
thanks please send me more information and pics about the important personages of the Bab and Baha’u’llah dispensation

Oh my stars; the heart trembles; even to view these precious objects on line; how favored we all are!
How moving to see photos of the personal effects of His Holiness the Bab. It literally brings tears to my eyes to consider what a blessing He is to the World; and to consider His nobility, humility and unparalleled suffering.
Thank you so much for sharing these precious photos.
