Description
This photograph of the Jordan River was taken at Yardenit, also known as the Yardenit Baptismal Site. This baptism site is located in the Galilee region of northern Israel. Over
40, 000 Christian Pilgrims visit and/or are baptized at Yardenit each year. Christians come to be baptized in the Jordan River because Jesus Christ himself was baptized in this river by John the Baptist (though not in this area). It is a beautiful and peaceful setting even when it is crowded. I enjoy looking at the foliage that frames this photograph and the lovely blue tones and reflections in the water, and hope that the viewer enjoys it as well.
