Baha'i Shrine of Samoa

The Baha'i faith has 8 continental temples. This one in Samoa is the continental temple for the Pacific Ocean region. I was told that the king of Samoa was the 1st king to convert to Baha'i. He is said to have sited this temple.
The 1st picture looks up the walkway towards the shrine itself, and the 2nd picture is inside the shrine. Those brown stripes are all the way around and bear Baha'i sayings. This space is considered a welcome space for all faiths.
The 3rd and 4th pictures are inside the 2nd building, much like a detached hall or education building in many churches. Note the displays either side of the doors. These are 4 displays of information about Baha'i.
The last 2 pictures are of the temple grounds. I have been at a number of Baha'i temples around the world. They are all as beautifully landscaped and maintained as this is.Read more
