Satellite Broadcast of the Opening of the Terraces on Mount Carmel

It's dusk on 22 May 2001. Some 4,500 people, 3,300 of them Bahá'ís, representative of more than 200 countries and territories, are gathered at the foot of Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. They are there to witness the opening of the Terraces of the Shrine of the Báb, a project begun ten years ago that has transformed the ancient barren face of the mountain into 19 majestic terraced gardens cascading down the length of the mountain.
