Design concept of the Shrine of Abdul-Baha:

[arthra]

Abdul-Baha (1844 - 1921) was the eldest Son of Baha'u'llah and most of His life He endured imprisonment and exile with His Father. He was designated the Center of the Covenant and Designated Interpreter of His Father's Writings.

He was able to travel to Europe and North America 1911-1913 and correspond with Baha'is.

Near the end of His life He lived in the Mansion of Bahji near Akka.

"‘Abdu’l-Baha had expressed His wish regarding where He should be buried,” explains Mr. Amanat, a distinguished Iranian-Canadian architect. “He had said to an early believer that if something should happen to Him and He should pass away, ‘Abdu’l-Baha wanted to be buried under the sands between Haifa and Akka, which He described as the pathway trodden by the loved ones and the pilgrims.”

"In a prayer composed by ‘Abdu’l-Baha, recited by visitors to His resting place, He expresses this supplication to God: “Make me as dust in the pathway of Thy loved ones.” This idea in the prayer is one of the organizing principles of the design.

According to my understanding this will require the movement of Abdul-Baha’s Remains from where they are currently located (I assume at the Shrine of the Bab?).
That will be a precious task for the Baha’is who undertake it.
