Christian Tourists Visit Qasr el Yahud Baptism Site
Christian tourists visit the Qasr el Yahud Baptism site, where tradition believes Jesus Christ was baptized in the Jordan River, outside Jericho, in the West Bank, on March 21, 2018. The Israel National Mine Action Authority, under the Defense Ministry, and the Halo Trust, an international mine clearance charity, have started to remove all residual mines and explosive remnants of the Six Day War at the baptismal site along the Jordan River.
