| Area of Christian Baptism on the Jordan River, Israel |
One of the unique experiences in Israel is the visit to religious sites. Besides prayer and experience of the original place where a religious event took place, Christians and Jews hold life cycle events when visiting. Pilhgrimage to holly sites and holding meaningful events are highly valued by Israel's citizens and the government. In the Jordan river, many come to be baptized in a location where Jesus was called and experienced his baptism (Mark 1, 9-11: "At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” ”) [picture below, scriptures in Hebrew and Greek at the site]
