July Activities
On July 10, the Bahá’ís of the world will commemorate the horrific day in 1850 when the Herald of the Faith, The Báb, was killed by firing squad. His only “crime” was proclaiming new divine teachings promoting the oneness of humanity, the equality of women and men, and preparing His followers for the coming of the Glory of God, Bahá’u’lláh, Founder of the Bahá’í Faith. Everyone is invited to join holy day gatherings honoring the life of The Báb.
