July 11. On this date in 1850, the remains of the Báb were removed from the Tabriz, where he had been executed two days previous, and transported to Milan. The remains would subsequently be transported to Tehran, Isfahan, Kirmanshah, Baghdad, Damascus, Beirut and eventually Acre in 1899. On March 21, 1909, the remains were then interred in a special tomb, the Shrine of the Báb, erected for this purpose by `Abdu'l-Bahá, on Mount Carmel in present-day Haifa.

It should be noted that the "Kitáb-i-Aqdas," revealed in 1873, forbids the "transport the body of the deceased a greater distance than one hour’s journey from the city", which is why when Shoghi Effendi passed away suddenly at the age of 60 from the Asian flu in London where he was shopping for furniture and ornaments for the International Archives building, he was buried at the New Southgate Cemetery in London, far from the Bahá'í holy shrines in Israel. Not far from his grave in Southgate, however, rests Shoghi Effendi's niece Maliheh Afnan, the artist daughter of Ruhangiz Afnan, who Shoghi Effendi had declared a Covenant-breaker for marrying the son of Siyyid Ali Afnan, who 'Abdu'l-Bahá had declared a Covenant-breaker.
