The Declaration of the Báb, occurring on May 23, 1844, in Shiraz, Persia, marks the moment Siyyid ‘Alí-Muhammad announced He was a Messenger of God and the Herald of a new era, specifically to prepare the way for Bahá’u’lláh. This event launched the Bábí Faith and is celebrated as one of nine holy days in the Bahá’í calendar.
This event has passed.
