Special Anniversary for Baha’is, Bicentenary of the Birth of the Báb
The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges that 2019 marks the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Báb, which is being celebrated all over the world by Bahá’is; notes that this is a very special celebration for those of the Bahá’i faith in their belief that the Báb, Siyyid Alí-Muhammad, who was born in Iran in 1819, was called by God as Forerunner and Herald of Bahá’u’llah, a twin Prophet and Luminary of the Bahá'í faith; recognises the importance of this year for Bahá’is, and sends its best wishes to the Bahá’i community in East Kilbride and across Scotland.
