PARADISE
ON EARTH: Thousands of members of the Bahai faith descended from
across the globe to celebrate the grand opening of a massive terraced
garden in the coastal city of Haifa, consecrating the burial site of the
faith's founder. The gardens, tucked into the steep slopes of Mount
Carmel, are designed in nine concentric circles around the shrine where
Bahai prophet Siyyid Ali Muhammad - known to Bahais as The Bab - is
buried. Right: A Thai member of the Bahai faith in attendance at the
