The Shrine of the Báb in Haifa, Israel, is the spot where the remains of the Báb, founder of the Bábí faith and forerunner of Bahá’u’lláh in the Bahá’í Faith, have been laid to rest; it is considered to be the second holiest place on Earth for Bahá’ís. Its precise location on Mount Carmel was designated by Bahá’u’lláh himself to his eldest son, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, in 1891. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá planned the structure, which was designed and completed several years later by his grandson, Shoghi Effendi. | ||
