Commemoration of the Martydom of the Báb
Born in Shiraz, a city in southern Iran, on 20 October 1819, the Báb was the symbolic gate between past ages of prophecy and a new age of fulfillment for humanity. His primary purpose was to awaken the people to the fact that a new period in human history had begun, one which would witness the unification of the entire human race. It was His mission to declare the coming of Bahá’u’lláh. As a result, He was condemned to death by a firing squad.
Please arrive at 11:45 am for a light lunch. The observance will begin at 1 pm. RSVP needed by July 8 for lunch. Email: ecaran@gmail.com.
