We saw these pilgrim being baptized and many of us waded into the river. This location is near Capernum. Yardenit is situated on the banks of the Jordan River at the Southern tip of the Sea of Galilee. Each year tourists and pilgrims come to experience the tranquility and spiritual beauty of the waters in which Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
This is the first site we visited where people can be baptized. Another location is noted in this web site titled Jordan Valley. Archaeological information was not available when this first site was constructed. The site near Jerico seems to be recognized as the validated site.
