1863 UNITY ROAD: The Pilgrim returns

The Pilgrim returns

I'm back now from my beautiful pilgrimage with feelings of utmost joy and a just a tinge of sadness. The intense joy of actually being in the holy places surrounded by all that beauty, both spiritual and physical, and the sadness of having to leave them.

Right now though, I'm still trying to sort out all the photographs I took while I was there. I'll share some more when I can but just for a taste here are three, one of the Shrine of Báha'u'lláh and two of the Shrine of the Báb.

About Me

Name: Dawn

Location: Mogale City, South Africa

Hi! I'm Dawn and I'm a Bahá'í. I belong to the Bahá'í community of Mogale City one of many local Bahá'í communities throughout South Africa (and the world). The word Bahá'í means follower of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith and I have been a Bahá'í for 20+ years. My whole life revolves around Bahá'u'lláh so I want to tell you about Him and share with you this great gift mankind has been given but is mostly still unaware of.

My blog contains snippets of information and links to various aspects of the Bahá'í Faith and is offered in the hope that something in it will attract you and cause you to investigate Bahá'u'lláh's claim to be the Manifestation of God for this age and the Promised One of all ages. This is a challenging claim that everyone should investigate. How about it?
