Tuesday evening November 11th begins the Baha'i Holy Day - The anniversary of the Birth of Baha'u'llah...work and school will be suspended for the day.

Bahá'u'lláh, Whose name was Mirza Husayn-'Ali, was a nobleman of the province of Nur in Persia. A great Bahá'í scholar, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, through extensive historical research has verified that Bahá'u'lláh was descended from Zoroaster and the Sasaniyan kings of Persia, thereby fulfilling certain traditions that the great Redeemer of mankind would be of pure Persian lineage. Bahá'u'lláh was also descended from Abraham through His third wife Katurah, thus uniting in His own person two branches of the Aryan and Semitic religions. He was born in Tihran in 1817 and His father Mirza Abbas, known in royal circles as Mirza Buzurg, was at the court of the Shah.
