The Baptism of Jesus: the pilgrimage to the banks of the River Jordan

The River Jordan is the destination that every year welcomes the Franciscan pilgrimage with the participation of pilgrims and Christians who come here from every corner of the Holy Land. Remembering the Baptism of Jesus and renewing the baptismal promises: this is what the site of  Qasr Al-Yahudrepresents for the faithful; this way, over the centuries this place has become passage, liberation, regeneration, and lavacrum, with this feast-day bringing the Christmas period to an end.
