Pelham, Ontario

Markers of the Baha'i Diaspora:  The graves of Baha'is are usually easy to identify: many are marked with the religion's nonagram (9 = perfection and unity) and many carry a quote from their founder, Bahá'u'lláh. The name Yazdi tells you that this man's family is from Yazd in Iran. It was one of the main centers of the Baha'i faith. Several hundred thousand Bahai'is continue to live in Iran despite persecution. Pleasantview Memorial Gardens. [2013]

"In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love"
