Bahá’í community of Ajax will celebrate the Birth days of the Báb, the prophet herald, and Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of The Bahá’í Faith on evenings of October 28-29,  2019.  In the Bahá’i writings, these two Divine Educators are often referred to as the “Twin Manifestations of God”.

It is a concept fundamental to Bahá’í belief, describing the relationship between the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh. Both are considered Manifestations of God in their own right, having each founded separate religions (Bábi Faith and the Bahá’í Faith) and revealed their own holy scriptures. To Bahá’ís, however, the missions of the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh are inextricably linked: The Báb’s mission was to prepare the way for the coming of “Him whom God shall make manifest“, who eventually appeared in the person of Bahá’u’lláh. For this reason, both the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh are revered as central figures of the Bahá’í Faith.

 According to the Lunar Calendar, their Birthdays are on two consecutive days –  two years apart.  Bahá’u’lláh was born in 1817 and The Báb was born in 1819.

2017 marked the Bicentenary of the Birth of Bahá’u’lláh

2019 will mark the Bicentenary of the Birth of The Báb

The Baha’i Community of Ajax wishes to extend a warm invitation to everyone and invite the community to help us celebrate the Bicentenary, an occasion which is unique and precious in the history of humanity.

We invite you to follow this blog and contact us or your Bahá’í friends in your neighborhood to learn about various events and activities in Ajax leading up to The  Bicentenary celebration of the Birth of The Báb   in 2019.

The essential message of the  Bahá’í Faith is that of unity. The Baháʹí Faith is the most recent of the world’s independent religions. Bahá’ís live around the globe in nearly every country and in many dependent territories. The Encyclopedia Britannica Yearbook has listed the Bahá’í Faith as second only to Christianity in its geographic spread.

Two hundred years ago, the Báb appeared, inaugurating a new Dispensation and preparing humanity for the light of Bahá’u’lláh’ s Revelation. Here is a video “Dawn of the Light” about the effects of this Divine message:
