BAHÁ'Í WORLD CENTRE, 8 November 2021, (BWNS) — The project to preserve the Bahá'í pilgrimage site known as the Mansion of Mazra'ih is now showing significant progress. Most notably, Bahá'u'lláh's room has now been prepared for visitors. This Holy Place has been described by the Universal House of Justice in a letter to all Bahá'í National Spiritual Assemblies on Monday as "that serene and sacred spot, the first residence of Bahá'u'lláh after nine years' confinement within the walls of the prison-city of 'Akká." Bahá'u'lláh and members of His family took up residence at Mazra'ih in early June 1877, where He received visitors and penned many tablets. Conservation work, which began over a year ago, has also been carried out on the courtyard and its walls, portions of the aqueduct that run through the site, the stables, and other structural elements near the Mansion and elsewhere on the site. The Universal House of Justice further states: "In the coming years, conservation work will be carried out on the other rooms of the Mansion, and the surrounding area will be landscaped to provide a large, open space for visitors to walk around and enjoy, intending to capture the tranquil spirit of this blessed spot." Different aspects of the conservation work can be seen in a video and a selection of images available on news.bahai.org.
