The construction of the Shrine had begun over forty years ago. The Guardian recounted how the Bab’s Sacred remains journeyed in hiding for decades in Iran before arriving in the Holy Land where they were hidden in the room of the Greatest Holy Leaf for another ten years. ‘Abdu’l-Baha showed the remains to the assembled Baha’is to verify that they had arrived intact, and he buried them with great solemnity in a marble sarcophagus sent by the Baha’is of Burma.
