Today is the Holyday of the Ascension of Baha'u'llah -- as it is called by Baha'is. It is a Holy Day for six million people in 192 countries and territories which commemorates the anniversary of the death in 1892 of the founder of the Bahá'í faith, Bahá'u'lláh. His burial shrine is in Isreal, surrounded by gardens designed to symbolise the future ordering of the world. This solemn anniversary is a day of rest, and is often observed by reading or chanting from the scriptures. For more on Baha'is art & design, follow on Tumblr
