Who identified Thornton Chase's gravesite as a place of religious visitation?
ʻAbdu'l-Bahá
United States government
The Pope
A group of his followers
Answer
Thornton Chase was an American Baha'i, one of the earliest members of the Baha'i Faith in the United States. He died in 1902. In 1911, ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, the son of the founder of the Baha'i Faith, visited the United States and identified Chase's gravesite as a place of religious visitation. This was the first time that a Bahá'í holy place had been designated outside of Iran, the birthplace of the religion.
