Millones de cristianos visitan este lugar a orillas del Río Jordan para realizar el acto del bautismo . Considerado el lugar sagrado donde Juan el Bautista bautizo a Jesús, miles de feligreses visitan este lugar repitiendo dicha ceremonia. El lugar está ambientado para poder descansar en unos bancos a la sombra en la entrada de este lugar, también hay duchas y sanitarios, y por supuesto, un mini Market con diferentes souvenirs. Este lugar es muy emocionante por la carga religiosa que conlleva a miles de personas a visitarlo .

Many tourists come here to get baptized and swim in the Jordan river. Pictures taken on the Jordan side on the same site.

Qasr al-Yehud (Castle of the Jews) is a baptismal location on the Jordan River. The site is in the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank 15 km from the northern end of the Dead Sea and southeast of Jericho. Qasr Al-Yehud is believed to be the Biblical site where John baptized Jesus; this symbolized his spiritual birth. This stretch of the river is also where Joshua led the Israelites to cross the River Jordan into the Promised Land. The Prophet Elijah is said to have ascended to heaven from this location. The area covers both banks of the Jordan River – on the east bank in the Kingdom of Jordan and on the west bank at Qasr al-Yehud.

מקום טבילה נוצרי. נמצא בארץ המנזרים . מקום יפה מושך תיירים מכל העולם. באמצע נהר הירדן עובר גבול עם ירדן. בצד הירדני גם אתר טבילה .

Côté jordanie, j'ai pu trempé les pieds et mouillé mon chech avec l'autorisation du soldat armé. Le message du Christ, pour oeuvrer pour la paix prend encore plus de signification. Un kiosque à souvenir est ouvert plus proche des églises. En bas vers le mémorial toutes les boutiques sont vides. Prendre le Jordan pass avec acces Béthanie. Une certification de visite était affiché à 3 Dj mais on a pas voulu me la vendre ou on a pas voulu me comprendre....
