May 5

 O thou who art steadfast in the Covenant! Thou hast asked concerning the travels of Bahá’u’lláh. The Blessed Beauty—may my life be offered up for His loved ones—travelled directly from Tihrán to Hamadán, from that city to Kirmánsháh, and thence straight on to Baghdad. 

- ‘Abdu’l-Baha  (From a Tablet; ‘Light of the World’)
