This month! Baha'i Shrine and Gardens, Haifa  Haifa's most striking landmark is the splendid **Baha'i Shrine and Gardens**, located on the edge of the city center. The immaculate Baha'i gardens, with their stone peacocks and and delicately manicured cypress trees, are a restful, aesthetic memorial to the founders of the Baha'i Faith. Pilgrims come to Haifa from all parts of the world to pay homage to the first leaders of their religion, which emphasizes unity across cultures and religions. Haifa is the international headquarters for the gentle Baha'i Faith, which began amidst persecution in Persia in the mid-19th century. Baha'is believe in the unity of all religions and believe that messengers of God like Moses, Jesus and Muhammad have been sent at different times in history with doctrines varying to fit changing social needs, but bringing substantially the same message. The most recent of these heavenly teachers, according to Baha'is, was Baha' Allah (1817-92). He was exiled by the Turkish authorities to Acre (Akko), wrote his doctrines there, and died a peaceful death in Bahji House just north of Acre. During one of His visits to Haifa in 1890, Baha'u'llah pointed out to his son the spot on Mount Carmel where the remains of the Bab, herald of the Baha'i faith, should be laid to rest in a befitting tomb. The Bab's remains were hidden for years after he died a martyr's death in front of a firing squad. Eventually, his followers secretly carried his remains to the Holy Land.
