The Bahai Gardens -- one of Israel's most beautiful and defining landmarks located in the northern city of Haifa was recently included in the prestigious list of World Heritage Sites by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The declaration, which took place in Quebec, Canada and included 26 other sites around the world, was welcomed in Israel where many hope it would help promote tourism and raise awareness about the Bahai religion throughout the world. Recent statistics show that just during the last year over 600,000 people visited the majestic gardens which decorate Mount Carmel from its base to its top. The Bahai religion is one of the lesser known of the holy lands many religious communities. It was originally established in Iran 1862 as an off-shoot of Islam. Its members believe in the existence of only one God, the unification of all religions, the promotion of world peace, the equality of all men and women and the spreading of education and justice. The religion has neither priests nor established rituals. With UNESCO's new declaration the Bahai gardens joins the list of World Heritage Sites in Israel. The list includes the old city of Jerusalem, the white city of Tel Aviv, the old city of Acco, the incense road of the Negev, the ancient fortress of Masada and the Biblical cities of Megiddo, Hatzor and Beersheva. The Bahai gardens are now officially a part of the national pride of Israel. 08/19/08 http://www.infolive.tv/en/infolive.tv-27711-israelnews-haifas-majestic-bahai-gardens-unesco-world-heritage-site [More] [Less]
