The term Pilgrim House is a term used by Bahá'ís to signify buildings where pilgrims are (or were) greeted and housed during pilgrimage to the Bahá'í holy places. There have been numerous buildings within Haifa, Israel dedicated to this, including ''4 Haparsim Street'' (the original Western Pilgrim House), ''10 Haparsim Street'' (the second Western Pilgrim House), the ''Haifa Pilgrim House'' (also known as the Eastern Pilgrim House), and the ''Pilgrim Reception Centre''. Another pilgrim house is located at Bahjí, near the Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh. ==Original Western Pilgrim House== The original Western Pilgrim House, located at 4 Haparsim Street in Haifa, Israel, was used a Pilgrim House for members of the Bahá'í Faith of Western origin who had come for pilgrimage during the early years of the 20th century, before it was replaced by 10 Haparsim Street. The house is currently part of the Bahá'í World Centre. While it was originally rented to serve as a Pilgrim House, the house was then bought by `Abdu'l-Bahá. After being replaced by new Western Pilgrim House, the site was then used by members of the Bahá'í holy family. It left Bahá'í hands shortly before being re-bought by the Universal House of Justice. It was at 4 Haparsim Street that Shoghi Effendi gave Mary Maxwell, who he would later marry, the title Amatu'l-Bahá Rúhíyyih Khanum. It is now a pilgrimage site for Bahá'ís. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pilgrim House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
