Excerpt: ʻAbdu'l-Bahá[1] (Persian: عبد البهاء‎, 23 May 1844 – 28 November 1921), born ʻAbbás (Persian: عباس), was the eldest son of Baháʼu'lláh and served as head of the Baháʼí Faith from 1892 until 1921. ʻAbdu'l-Bahá was later canonized as the last of three "central figures" of the religion, along with Baháʼu'lláh and the Báb, and his writings and authenticated talks are regarded as sources of Baháʼí sacred literature.

. Full section title: 20 April 1913 - VIENNA - The future of Vienna, Karlskirche, Theosophists and diplomats

Excerpt on his actions in Vienna on April 20, 1913: 'Abdu'l-Bahá, walking around Vienna, joins people entering a palatial-looking domed church, Karlskirche, or St. Charles' Church, widely considered the most outstanding Baroque church in Vienna, with an opulently-decorated interior. 'Abdu'l-Bahá walks around the church for about ten minutes and donates money before returning to the hotel and speaking to Theosophists. 'Abdu'l-Bahá calls on a Persian minister in the afternoon, then returns to visit the Ottoman Ambassador.
