Tomb on Mount CarmelAfter the Báb’s martyrdom, His remains, with those of His devotedcompanion, were thrown on the edge of the moat outsidethe city wall. On the second night they were rescued at midnightby some of the Bábís, and after being concealed for years insecret depositories in Persia, were ultimately brought, with greatdanger and difficulty, to the Holy Land. There they are nowinterred in a tomb beautifully situated on the slope of MountCarmel, not far from the Cave of Elijah, and only a few milesfrom the spot where Bahá’u’lláh spent His last years and whereHis remains now lie. Among the thousands of pilgrims from allparts of the world who come to pay homage at the Holy Tomb ofBahá’u’lláh, none omit to offer a prayer also at the shrine of Hisdevoted lover and forerunner, the Báb.
