This book is an illustrated guide to events that led to today's spectacular vision of the Shrine of the B�b and its garden terraces on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. For members of the Bah�'� Faith around the world, the Shrine is a site of pilgrimage, the holiest place in the world apart from the Shrine of Bah�'u'll�h across the bay. It is inscribed on the World Heritage List as part of the cultural heritage of humanity. The Shrine is the mausoleum of the prophetic figure known as the B�b.

Michael V. Day is a journalist who was the editor of the Bah�'� World News Service at the Bah�'� World Centre in Haifa, Israel from 2003 to 2006, where he lived and worked within a few hundred metres of the Shrine of the B�b. Born and raised in New Zealand, Michael was briefly a lawyer before becoming a newspaper reporter, leader writer and editor. He first visited the Shrine of the B�b while on pilgrimage in 1980. After moving to Australia in 1988 with his wife, Chris, and sons Thomas and George, he was a journalist with Murdoch University in Perth before joining the staff of The West Australian newspaper where he was a national award-winning education and feature writer. Michael was then appointed the newspaper's Asia Desk Chief, specializing in covering Indonesia, and being awarded the Perth Press Club Award for consistent excellence, and the University of Western Australia's prestigious Arthur Lovekin award. Michael is also continuing to write on Bah�'� topics, especially on aspects of the Faith's history. Michael and his wife, Chris, live in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
