| 'Abdu'l-Baha with a group of pilgrims on Mount Carmel |
There were frequent visits to the Shrine of the Báb.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá would ride the old horse-drawn, bus-like vehicle up the mountain.
The rest of us would walk along the rocky road, past the Pilgrim House, to the
terrace overlooking the city of Haifa, the blue bay beyond and, in the
distance, the hazy outline of ‘Akká. We would gather there until ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
appeared and entered the Shrine. He would chant the Tablet of Visitation.
Sometimes He asked Shoghi Effendi to chant this prayer. And when it was all
over and the believers began to leave the Shrine, He would stand at the door
with a bottle of rose water and put a little in each one’s hand. - Aziz Yazdi (‘Memories of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’, published in the online version of ‘The Baha’i
World’; The Baha’i World Center)
