Young people across the United Kingdom pay homage to the early days of the Bahá’í Faith through artistic expressions
Across the United Kingdom, youth, children, and their families are connecting with the personage of the Báb and the brave souls that arose to spread His message. Young adults discuss the unprecedented ferment and powerful release of spiritual forces that accompanied the advent of the Báb and explore how He and His followers broke away from the shackles of the past and bravely ushered in the coming of a new era in human civilization. Children learn about these acts of heroism through creative reenactments and storytelling and utilize art to bring to mind the Báb, portray His Shrine, and share His story with others. Family celebrations proliferate as parents and children recount the Báb’s message of love and unity, which stood in stark contrast to the state of decadence that characterized Persia in the 19th century. During His earthly life, His message drew scores of curious souls and inspired a range of artistic tributes to His Person; 200 years after His birth, artistic expressions continue to be a means through which the influence of the Báb's message is felt.
