Commemorating the Birth of Bahá'u'lláh
· One min read
Today we are celebrating the second of the Twin Holy days in the Bahá'í calendar: the birth of Bahá'u'lláh, founder of the Bahá'í Faith, in 1817. Yesterday we celebrated the birth of the Báb, born in 1819, who as an independent messenger from God both declared a new religion as a break from Islam, and prophesied that another, greater revelation would come soon after His own. Both were born in Persia, which is today known as Iran. In the lunar calendar used by the Muslim world, their births fell on consecutive days. Consequently, Bahá'ís around the world celebrate them as the "Twin Holy Days".
