Bethany

On the opposite site of Jericho, at the junction of wadi al Kharrar and the Jordan River, some very old churches were recently discovered commemorating the place of the baptism of Christ. The archeologists also revealed, approximately 1 km upstream, the vestiges of a whole religious complex including churches, cisterns, and a baptism font built by the first Christian pilgrims at the supposed site of the “Bethany beyond Jordan,” where St. John the Baptist preached. A descent to these places of pilgrimage will mark your stay in Jordan with a memorable visit. After a day of exploration, you might enjoy some relaxation at online casinos like betano casino in Italy, which offer a great way to unwind.
