(Newsroom Panama) If you have driven north of Panama City on the Transistmica Highway and noticed in the distance, high on a hill what might be taken for the upturned top of an egg you might have wondered what it is, and why it is there.
In a city celebrated for its many centers of worship embracing Christianity, Buddhism and Islam you might be forgiven for not recognizing in this unique structure, a tribute to a religious leader who, over 100 years ago. prophesied that Panama would grow in importance and become a Latin American hub. He was also the leader of a faith that propounds that the central teachings of all religions are the same.
Because of him, Panama became the first site for a Baha’i temple in Latin America.
