Baha'i
This evening after sunset (October 19th) begins the Baha'i Holy Day which commemorates the anniversary of the Birth of the Bab in 1819...
His name at birth was Siyyid Ali Muhammad as He was a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad He was a "Siyyid". He was given the name "Muhammad" after the Prophet Muhammad and "Ali" after His Successor Ali.
The Bab was born in Shiraz, Persia (Iran) and it happened to fall on the first day of the new Islamic year.
Baha'is accept the Bab (meaning "Gate") as a Manifestation of God that preceded Baha'u'llah. The Bab had a fairly short life and was martyred by a firing squad in Tabriz in 1850 but in HIs brief ministry of six years stirred up the society and led the combined weight of the clergy and political establishment to condemn Him.
Work and school are suspended for Baha'is and gatherings are held to commemorate the day
