The Tomb on Mount Carmel
“Among the thousands of pilgrims from all parts of the world who come to pay homage at the Holy Tomb of Bahá’u’lláh, none omit to offer a prayer also at the shrine of His devoted lover and forerunner, the Báb.”
After the Báb’s martyrdom, His remains,
with those of His devoted companion, were thrown on the edge of the
moat outside the city wall. On the second night they were rescued at
midnight by some of the Bábís, and after being
concealed for years in secret depositories in Persia, were ultimately
brought, with great danger and difficulty, to the Holy Land.

Mount Carmel, not far from the Cave of Elijah, and only a few miles
from the spot where Bahá’u’lláh spent His
last years and where His remains now lie.
