Figuratively:

In 1844, Siyyid 'Ali-Muhammad announced in Shiraz, Persia, that he was the Bab (the Gate), a Messenger of God in his own right but forerunner of Another to come having an even greater Revelation. Among his many works was the writing of al-Bayan (the Explanation), the instituting of certain laws, and establishment of a new calendar. His religion was known as Babism. Literally:

Shortly after martyrdom of the Bab, Mirza Husayn-'Ali was in Tihran's Siyah-Chal prison for being a Bab'i (follower of the Bab) when he received God's Revelation that He was to usher in the "Era of [Prophetic] Fulfillment." In 1852 Baha'u'llah shared this information only with his immediate family. Upon release from prison, he and his family were banished by the Shah to Baghdad and it was at Baghdad, in 1863, that Baha'u'llah publicly proclaimed his station. Because Baha'u'llah abrogated only certain of the Bab's laws while incorporating others into His own Kitab'i-Aqdas (Book of Laws), and instituted the Bab's calendar, the Twin Manifestations and Their two religions are closely interwoven. The Bab'i/Baha'i calendar begins in 1844 and that is the year considered to be the inception of the Baha'i Faith.
