Travel Diaries - Peaceful Border of Jordan and Palestine and Baptism site of Jesus Christ

in travel •  7 years ago  (edited)

This place what I am sharing today is the Baptism site of Jesus Christ. It's a very unique and fascinating place.

Why I say so?

One because of the rich history that it holds and the other is the fascinating border which crosses here between Jordan and Palestine.

Border area of two countries are always projected as tense areas. When you think of a border area, you will always imagine some military presence. In my own country I have always heard about how stressful these areas are and in such times when you come across this type of place where there is so much peace and calmness it sounds to be quite unbelievable. Before entering Bethany yes there was a security outpost which had checking.
Well there will be many more such places but not that I am aware of.

Baptism site of Jesus Christ at Bethany is around an hour drive from Amman city in Jordan, Its quite and experience to witness a place where Jesus Christ was baptized by St John The Baptist. Whether you visit this place for religious purpose or just as a tourist, this place will enchant you with its deep rooted history. It is good to have a tour guide here, else you will not be able to relate to any of the the structures.

Here you see the John Baptist Church, The Mantle Chapel and the Unique “Baptismal Pool”, The Jordan-Palestine Border

The place where Jesus Christ was Batized

I will admit this is one of the best place I have seen till date. This is the Jordan and Palestine border, divided by a small river. No army, security or any kind of guarding. People at both the sides are enjoying at the river. So blissful.

If you come all the way to this place then the other attraction to be not missed is the Dead Sea. I always wanted to visit the dead sea, but when I saw the place it was quite a disappointment, the beach was very dirty with lot of garbage all around the place. The place could be maintained in a much better manner, knowing it's such a huge attraction.

Jordan is a very beautiful country to visit, if you get an opportunity to visit this place, do not miss it.
Thank you😇

Yes the river has a strange color, may be it is because of the surrounding of this place.
Thank you very much for your appreciation:)

Thanks, it's very interesting!

Glad you liked it dear. Thanks

I couldn't read the whole post right now because you know I am feeling down but I scrolled down to see your photos and your face and smile cheered me up. Love!

Please take care of yourself sweetie. Do some mediation which would surely help.

Thank you very much for sharing with us in such a beautiful manner your personal travel and visiting experience to this exceptional sight.

It is still just my old wish to visit that part of the world which I didn't have the chance to see by now. But I'm sure that day is getting closer and closer.

Btw - the photos you took there are beautiful and I like them a lot! They also give the story additional personal touch, making us (readers) feel not only to know the storyteller but even (in some spiritual way) bringing us there.

Thank you dear @ana-maria for liking my work. This truly is an amazing place, at the banks of both the borders its such a wonderful feeling. Church bells are ringing on both the sides and everyone is having a good time. I just didnt feel like getting out from there.
I am sure yoi will visit this part of the world too some day. You have the intention. It'll definetly work. Whenever you will be here you have to be my guest. Will look forward to

WOW - That's such a nice offer from you. However, I will surely let you know when I'll go there if nothing else to drink together some nice cup of coffee. 😊

Definitely my dear

It is such a powerful spiritual place to visit isn’t it I still remember my visits there so clearly
Shame to hear the Dead Sea area was dirty the times I visited it was so clean and well maintained
But that was 20 odd years ago

Yes very true @tattoodjay, this place has amazing energy. You dont feel like leaving ftom there.
For Dead sea may be the part we visited was thd not very good one

Looks like an amazing trip. I would love to visit the Middle East. There are so many historical places to see there. Great post. Thanks

Yes @chefsteve, Middle East does have some amazing places historical places. Egypt, Iran, Jordan all these places are amazing

I love travel photos as they help me explore the world when I ca not be in all the places myself! Love the photos and hope to visit one day myself! :)

I am sure you will get to travel someday @lindahas. I too enjoy reading about travel and knowing about new places. Its true its not possible to go everywhere. I like more of historic places so I make that my priority

Haha, me as well, we went to Myra in Turkey this year and next year I would love to see the pyramids in Egypt! I love the mystery around history!
