Today we are remembering the following events (brief summary): It was on the 9th. of July 1850, that Siyyid Alí-Muhammad, usually known as the Báb - one of the two founders of the Bahá'í Faith - was publicly executed in Tabriz, Iran. On the second attempt, a firing squad of 750 guns killed him, together with a believer who did not want to be separated from him.
After that, his body was hidden by the believers (hidden from the enemies of the Faith, that is), and taken from one place to another during 50 years, until it finally was buried in the tomb on Mount Carmel, in Haifa, Israel.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
