1957 * Ascension of Shoghí Effendi in London Great-grandson of Baha'u'llah, he was the Guardian and appointed head of the Baháʼí Faith after the passing of 'Abdu'l-Baha in 1921, until his death in 1957. His passing was sudden and unexpected, brought on by a heart attack in his sleep following a bout with the flu. He and his wife Rúhíyyih Khánum were in England to find furnishings for the newly completed Archives Building on Mt Carmel, the first building on the future Arc of the Bahá'í World Centre. As Bahá'ís must be buried within 1 hour's journey from the place of death, Shoghí Effendi was laid to rest in New Southgate Cemetery, northern London.
