Baháʼà Faith In Germany
Though mentioned in German literature in the 19th century, the history of the Baháʼà Faith in Germany (german: Bahaitum) begins in the early 20th century when two emigrants to the United States returned on prolonged visits to Germany bringing their newfound religion. The first Baháʼà Local Spiritual Assembly was established following the conversion of enough individuals to elect one in 1908. After the visit of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, then head of the religion, and the establishing of many further assemblies across Germany despite the difficulties of World War I, elections were called for the first Baháʼà National Spiritual Assembly in 1923. Banned for a time by the Nazi government and then in East Germany, the religion re-organized and was soon given the task of building the first Baháʼà House of Worship for Europe. After German reunification the community multiplied its interests across a wide range of concerns earning the praise of German politicians. German Census data shows ...

ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's Journeys To The West
ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's journeys to the West were a series of trips ʻAbdu'l-Bahá undertook starting at the age of 66, journeying continuously from Palestine to the West between 1910 and 1913. ʻAbdu'l-Bahá was the eldest son of Baháʼu'lláh, founder of the Baháʼà Faith, and suffered imprisonment with his father starting at the age of 8; he suffered various degrees of privation for almost 55 years, until the Young Turk Revolution in 1908 freed religious prisoners of the Ottoman Empire. Upon the death of his father in 1892, ʻAbdu'l-Bahá had been appointed as the successor, authorized interpreter of Bahá'u'lláh's teachings, and Center of the Covenant of the Baháʼà Faith. At the time of his release, the major centres of Baháʼà population and scholarly activity were mostly in Iran, with other large communities in Baku, Azerbaijan, Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, and Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Meanwhile, in the Occident the religion had been introduced in the late 1890s in several loca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Baháʼà Pilgrimage
A Baháʼà pilgrimage currently consists of visiting the holy places in Haifa, Acre, and Bahjà at the Baháʼà World Centre in Northwest Israel. BaháʼÃs do not have access to other places designated as sites for pilgrimage. Baháʼu'lláh decreed pilgrimage in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas to two places: the House of Baháʼu'lláh in Baghdad, and the House of the Báb in Shiraz. In two separate tablets, known as ''Suriy-i-Hajj'', he prescribed specific rites for each of these pilgrimages. It is obligatory to make the pilgrimage, "if one can afford it and is able to do so, and if no obstacle stands in one's way". Baháʼu'lláh has "exempted women as a mercy on His part", though the Universal House of Justice has clarified that women are free to perform this pilgrimage. BaháʼÃs are free to choose between the two houses, as either has been deemed sufficient. Later, Ê»Abdu'l-Bahá designated the Shrine of Baháʼu'lláh at Bahjà (the Qiblih) as a site of pilgrimage.

German Colony, Haifa
The German Colony (''HaMoshava HaGermanit'') ( he, המושבה ×”×’×¨×ž× ×™×ª, ar, الØÙŠ الألمانية) was established in Ottoman Haifa in 1868 as a Christian German Templer Colony in Palestine. It was the first of several colonies established by the group in the Holy Land. Others were founded in Sarona near Jaffa, Galilee and Jerusalem. History The Templers, a religious Protestant sect formed in southern Germany in the 19th century, settled in Palestine at the urging of their leader, Christoph Hoffmann, in the belief that living in the Holy Land would hasten the second coming of Christ. The Templers built a colony in keeping with strict urban planning principles and introduced local industries that brought modernity to Palestine, which had long been neglected by the Ottomans. They were the first to organize regular transportation services between Jaffa, Acre and Nazareth, which also allowed for mail delivery. In 1874 the Christian denomination of the Temple Socie ...
