The Birth of the Bab

in Explore > Calendar

Born in Shiraz, Iran on 20 October 1819, Siyyid Ali-Muhammad would become known to the world as the Bab (meaning “the Gate” in Arabic). The Bab was the symbolic gate; it was His mission to herald the coming of this promised Manifestation of God whom we know to be Baha’u’llah. In the Baha’i calendar, the Birth of the Bab and the Birth of Baha’u’llah are celebrated one after the other in one festival referred to as the “Twin Holy Days”.

“Al Romper el Alba”, which translates to “At the Break of Dawn”, is a musical created by the Baha’is of the Canary Islands. Originally performed on December 1, 2019 in honor of the bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab, this musical tells the story of the first followers of the Bab, Forerunner of the Baha’i Faith. 

While the musical is entirely in Spanish, English subtitles/closed captioning can be turned on.
