1863 3 May	Bahá'u'lláh left the Garden of Ridván. This initiated the holy day the Twelfth Day of Ridván, to be celebrated on 2 May. [BBD196] As He was about to leave He revealed a Tablet addressed to Áqá Mírzá Áqá in Shíráz. It brought relief and happiness to those who received it. [EB222] His leaving was accompanied by symbolic signs of His station: He rode a horse rather than a donkey and wore a tall táj. [BBD221; BKG176] See BKG175–6, GPB155 and RB1:281–2 for descriptions of the scenes that accompanied His departure. Bahá'u'lláh and His party arrived at Firayját, about three miles away on the banks of the Tigris. [BKG176] There they stayed in a borrowed garden for a week while Bahá'u'lláh's brother, Mirza Musa, completed dealing with their affairs in Baghdad and packing the remaining goods. Visitors still came daily. [SA235] One of the loyal followers who was left behind was Ahmad-i-Yazdi. He would later make the journey to Constantinople where he received a Tablet from Bahá'u'lláh.
