Painting of the House of the Báb where He declared His mission This painting by an artist in Burzaco, Argentina, depicts the courtyard of the House of the Báb in Shíráz, with an orange tree originally planted by Him. It was in this home on the night of 22 May 1844 when the Báb made known that He was the Founder of a new religion that was to prepare the world for the coming of Bahá’u’lláh.
