Baha’is on Tuesday and Wednesday mark 200 years since the birth of their prophet with a ceremony planned at their world center, in the northern Israeli port city of Haifa.
The Baha’i faith, with millions of followers worldwide, emerged in Persia in the second half of the 19th century.
An offshoot of Shia Islam, it reveres Siyyid Ali Muhammad — known as “The Bab” — who foretold the coming of another messenger from God “who would usher in an age of peace and justice,” according to the Baha’i website.
Baha’is mark bicentenary of prophet at his Haifa tomb
My son met me for dinner. He said, "Mom, what's the bob? I mean the Bab?" He had just been invited to a shindig about an hour away from where we live by a very nice man. That I don't know. It is today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, he is pretty darn busy and can't attend.
