On May 23, Baha'is all over the world will celebrate one of the nine holy
days in the Baha'i
calendar -- The Declaration
Of The Báb.
The holiday commemorates one of the most important events in Baha'i history,
when the Báb announced in 1844 that he was "the bearer of a Divine
Revelation which would prepare humanity for the advent of the Promised One
of all religions". In
1863, following years of persecution for the Báb and his followers,
Bahá’u'lláh declared that he was the Promised One that the Báb had
announced.
