41. • In the Haifa gardens, the huge domed
Shrine of the Bab entombs Baha' Allah's
herald. The tomb is a spectacular sight,
with gold ornamental work and flowers in
almost every nook and cranny.
The Baha'i gardens are now a geometric
cascade of hanging gardens and terraces down
to Ben Gurion Boulevard -a gift of visual
pleasure to the city that gave the Baha'i religion
its home and headquarters.
