February–March, 1845: The Báb returned to Persia – The “signal for a commotion that rocked the entire country”

The Báb’s return to His native land (Safar 1261) (February–March, 1845) was the signal for a commotion that rocked the entire country. The fire which the declaration of His mission had lit was being fanned into flame through the dispersal and activities of His appointed disciples.
