As a religion Bahaism arose in the XIX century. Today it is distributed in 180 countries and has about 5 million adherents. Baha'is believe that all religions are equal, God alone and with people he speaks through his messengers. Believers call upon all people to live in peace and harmony. It so happened that the religious center of the Baha'is became one of the largest cities in Israel - Haifa. It is here that the remains of the founder of this religion are buried.
In 1953, the tomb of Baba was built,the top is made in the form of a dome, the building has 18 windows, this is the number of disciples of the prophet. Certainly, the temple is very beautiful, but the main attraction attracting millions of tourists is the Bahai gardens. Haifa is a modern city of high technology, so it is very difficult to imagine that there may be such a miracle, more like an eastern fairy tale.
Simultaneously with the construction of the tomb wascultivated and a small area on which the Baha'is planted a magnificent garden. In 1987, the Baha'i gardens in Haifa were decided to enlarge and plant the entire slope of Mount Carmel. The gardens consist of 19 large terraces. One of them is located directly near the tomb of the founder of religion, nine lead from the mausoleum to the foot of the mountain and nine from the temple to the top of the mountain.
The symbol of the Baha'i faith is the nine-cornereda star in the form of which the tomb of the founder of the faith was built. The temple is in the center of the park and attracts attention with its architectural perfection. Near the mausoleum you can see the garden of cacti. In the northern part is the grave of another founder - Bahá'u'lláh, surrounded by magnificent Bahai gardens.
Visitors note that in these gardens it is feltspecial peace and tranquility. When you admire the beauty of nature, amazing compositions of flowers, bushes and trees, all problems and worries are removed to the background, instead of them comes harmony and understanding of the need to do good in this world.
