One of the powerful images that the Bab uses for the Revelations of God coming to humanity is the rising and setting of the sun.  We will post an essay shortly on this topic.  The Bab’s revelation itself is often referred to in these terms as He was heralding a new revelation from God- that of Baha’u’llah- one that would lead us towards unity all over the world.  The Bab was the “breaker of the dawn”. The historical record of the Bab and his early followers is even called “The Dawnbreakers” to reflect this idea.  

In honor of the 200th anniversary of the Birth of the Bab, the Universal House of Justice commissioned a film- called “Dawn of the Light”.  The film can be seen on YouTube with link below. Enjoy!
