The photograph at the top of this website

Vickie took the photograph that adorns the top of our weblog, during our Pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1998.  This edifice is the Seat of the Universal House of Justice, the Head of the Baha'i Faith, and is set amongst beautiful and uplifting gardens on Mount Carmel in northern Israel.



Here are photographs of delegates to a recent International Baha'i Convention; they are the elected members of the National leadership of the Baha'is from some 180 countries, and they in turn come to the Holy Land from around the world to elect the membership of the House of Justice every five years. Baha'is believe that the Universal House of Justice on Mount Carmel was promised as the "Mountain of the House of the Lord" in the Books of Isaiah and Micah, and is instrumental in the establishment of world peace.
