ISRAEL - The Shrine of the Prophet-Founder of the Baha'i faith is located in northern Israel, in the city of Acre. Acre is the holiest city of the Bahá'í Faith. There are an estimated five to six million Bahá'ís around the world in more than 200 countries and territories. In the Bahá'í Faith, religious history is seen to have unfolded through a series of divine messengers, each of whom established a religion that was suited to the needs of the time and the capacity of the people. These messengers have included Abraham, the Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad and others, and most recently the Bahá'u'lláh. In addition to the sacred shrine, the faithful make pilgrimages to temples around the world, including the world headquarters which is also located in Israel, in the city of Haifa.
