Shortly after the arrival of the exiles in Adrianople, many residents of the city became deeply attracted to Bahá’u’lláh. The governor, high-ranking officials and leaders of thought sought out His company and showed great reverence. On those occasions when Bahá’u’lláh would walk through the streets, people would spontaneously stand and bow before Him.
