Today is a Bahá’í Holy Day

9 07 2010

On this day in 1850, one of the central figures of the Bahá’í Faith, Siyyid Ali-Muhammad whom we call “The Báb”, was executed by firing squad in the main square of the Iranian city of Tabriz. The day is now commemorated by Bahá’ís across the world as a “Holy Day” when they stop doing any paid work and instead spend their time either in prayer and meditation or in carrying out acts of service for their friends, neighbours and other members of their community.

As for me, I’ve been reading some other Bahá’í blogs and updating this one on The Tiverton Bahá’í, which I’m now registering with Technorati.
