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. On July 9, 1850, the Báb was executed by a firing squad. A whirlwind of dust engulfed the city, blotting out the light of the sun until nightfall. Join us for this solemn commemoration. To get the location information, email: bahai.hamilton.nj@gmail.com.
