"The Bahá’í Faith is based on the teachings of two prophets of God, who lived in the nineteenth century. The first was the Báb (The Gate)... The Báb is called the Prophet-Herald because He foretold the coming of the Prophet-Founder, Bahá’u’lláh..."
"... Bahá’u’lláh, was banished from His homeland and eventually exiled to ‘Akko during the Ottoman Period. He lived in ‘Akko for the last 24 years of His life (1868-1892), and is buried in Bahjí, in the northern part of the city. The remains of the Báb were brought from Iran and buried in Haifa in accordance with the instructions of Bahá’u’lláh, Who also decided that the administrative institutions of the future Bahá’í community would have their seat on Mount Carmel."
