View submission: Baha'i Symbolism Question
The 5 pointed star is the official symbol of the religion. We just use the 9 pointed one more because it represents baha in numerology which means glory in Arabic. The 5 pointed star represents humanity. Head, arms, and legs.
It is probably difficult to find Bahais because it is against our religion to convert anyone in the land of Israel

Yah I asked a tourist guide at the Citadel in Akko and she said that she believes the Baha'i are very cautious here because they are not allowed to convert anyone and giving out information maybe perceived as trying to convert.
