The 200th birthday of the founder of the Baha’i faith was celebrated Oct. 22 at the FairBridge Hotel and Conference Center.
Members of the Baha’i community and invited guests gathered at the FairBridge Hotel and Conference Center Oct. 22 to celebrate the bicentennial of the faith’s founder.
Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Baha’i religion, was born in Tehran, Persia, in present-day Iran. Bahá’u’lláh followed and amplified the teachings of a man known as The Báb, two years his younger, who was executed in 1850 by a firing squad in a public square. The Báb, and later Bahá’u’lláh, “supported the advancement of women, education, the sciences and respect for the environment,” according to a brochure distributed at the celebratory brunch.
