Featured in: The Birth of Baha’u’llah
Mirza Husayn-Ali, who is known to the world by His title, Baha’u’llah, was born in Tehran, Iran on 12 November, 1817. Baha’u’llah means “Glory of God” in Arabic and He is the Prophet-Founder of the Baha’i Faith. The anniversary of the day He was born is celebrated alongside the Birth of the forerunner of His Revelation, the Bab. These Twin Holy Days are celebrated annually as one festival where the closely interwoven missions of these two Divine Luminaries are remembered together.
This short video shows some of the highlights from the Moreland Baha’i community in Australia, who spent much of 2017 preparing to mark the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Baha’u’llah with a multi-sensory exhibition at the Brunswick Town Hall.
The Moreland community joined millions of others gathered together in all parts of the world to celebrate the bicentenary of the anniversary of the Birth of Baha’u’llah, Who was born in 1817.
You can see more examples of the initiatives and celebrations happening around the world on bicentenary.bahai.org, the official website for the bicentenary celebrations.
