Baháʼí House of Worship Wilmette
Highlight • Religious Site
This is one of eight continental Bahá’í temples worldwide and serves as a spiritual center for all of North America.
• The temple is open to people of all faiths and is intended as a place for prayer, meditation, and reflection, without sermons or organized worship services.
• Inside, sacred texts from various world religions are read or sung without instrumental accompaniment.
A domed prayer hall with nine entrances, nine alcoves, and nine fountains—the number nine symbolizing unity and spiritual wholeness.
• Detailed concrete cladding in a lacy style, made of Portland cement and quartz.
• Religious symbols from various faiths, such as the Christian cross, the Star of David, and the Islamic crescent, are incorporated into the exterior pillars.
• Inside the dome, the “Greatest Name” is inscribed in Arabic script, meaning “O Thou Glory of Glories.”
