Stone Edifices:
To the Baha'i Temples Across the World

The physical symbol
of the inner reality,
stone edifices are raised
in praise
of the All-Merciful Creator
and to proclaim
the Lord's Return.

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 1995
What's your favorite place on earth? Why? Was it there in 1995? Give us a reason, we'd want to go there too.

I don't have one favorite spot on Earth because there are Baha'i Temples on every continent. In addition, there is the Baha'i World Centre on Mount Carmel in Israel. If I could visit only one or two I would chose to go to Israel and India. In Israel I would visit Mount Carmel and Behji. In India I would visit the Baha'i Lotus Temple in New Delhi. After that I would want to visit the rest of the Baha'i Temples across the world, which includes the one in the Chicago area. Some of the temples were constructed before 1995, and some after. In fact, communities across the world are planning and erecting temples in the twenty-first century.
