Baha'i Holy Day - The Declaration of the Bab (1844) 1260 AH

[arthra]

The year 1844 in the Gregorian calendar was a year of expectancy in North America in a movement known as the Millerite movement when the Return of Christ was expected. Similarly in the Middle East was a time of expectancy when the appearance/return of the Twelfth Imam as well as the Qa'im and Mihdi were expected.

Baha'is around the world observe this day and refrain from work and school.

Siyyid Ali Muhammad Shirazi known as the Bab (Gate) announced His station to Mulla Husayn at the home of the Bab in Shiraz Persia on May 22-23 1844.

The Millerite appeared to be wrong but interestingly related to 7th day adventist who split off then eventually Jehovah witness who also split off them
