Baha'i Holy Days in October and November

I'm posting this information now but hope to follow up with more details later...

The Birth of the Bab on Oct. 20 commemorates the 1819 birth in Shiraz, Persia (now Iran), of Siyyid ‘Ali-Muhammad, who later took the title “the Bab,” meaning “the Gate.” The Bab was the herald who prepared the way for Baha’u’llah, the founder of the Baha'i Faith. He called on people to purify themselves for the coming day of God.

The Birth of Baha’u’llah on Nov. 12 commemorates the 1817 birth of Baha’u’llah (born Mirza Husayn-‘Ali) in Tehran, Persia (now Iran). Baha’u’llah, whose title means the “Glory of God,” announced in 1863 that he is God's messenger for this age. His teachings and sacred writings are the basis of the Baha'i Faith.

Baha'u'llah proclaimed that God, our loving creator, sends divine messengers or manifestations of God with teachings that enable humanity to know and to worship God. These great manifestations have appeared throughout history every 500 to 1,000 years, bringing human civilization to ever higher levels of spiritual and material advancement. Baha'u'llah is the latest in this long line of divine messengers, which has included Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster and the Bab.

Interestingly, on the lunar calendar used in the Middle East, the births of the Bab and Baha'u'llah occur on two consecutive days!
