The Bahá’í community will observe the Ascension of `Abdu’l-Bahá on November 27. This holiday commemorates the death of `Abdu’l-Bahá in his house in Haifa in 1921. He was the eldest son and successor of Baha’u’llah, co-founder of the Bahá’í Faith. Over ten thousand mourners from diverse religions and ethnic communities attended his funeral. His remains were laid to rest in a vault next to the vault of the Báb on Mount Carmel.
Baha’is celebrate this Holy Day as they do all others in their faith. They gather in prayer and worship and celebration of unity and acceptance. All are welcome to join in the celebration regardless of any difference in faith or beliefs.
