Featured in: The Birth of the Bab
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”.
This program for the celebration of the Birth of the Bab is hosted by the Baha’i House of Worship in Wilmette, USA. The program was put together in collaboration with Baha’is from across North America and it features prayers, stories and music.
