Featured in: The Martyrdom of the Bab
On July 9th 1850, the Bab, the forerunner to Baha’u’llah, was executed in Tabriz, Persia by a firing squad of 750 men. The Bab, which means “the Gate” in Arabic, was a Messenger of God whose role was to herald the coming of the latest Manifestation of God: Baha’u’llah. In 1909, after being hidden away for more than half a century, the Bab’s remains were finally interred on Mount Carmel, Israel.
This program for the commemoration of the Martyrdom of the Bab is hosted by the Baha’i House of Worship in Wilmette, USA. The program was put together in collaboration with the Baha’is of Canada and it features prayers in a variety of languages as well as stories.
