Baha'u'llah came from the fortress even to the river: After Baha'u'llah was released from the mighty prison of 'Akka, while still a Prisoner in that region, He would at times visit a garden outside of the city. He named this garden "Paradise." It was surrounded on both sides by the river Belus, which had split into two streams at that point before flowing into the Mediterranean Sea. There He would delight in the beauty of nature, of which He had been deprived for so many years due to His incarceration.
