Крещение в водах Иордана Baptism in the waters of the Jordan

Rating 10110

The Yardenit complex is located near Tiberias and the source of the Holy Jordan River from the Sea of ​ ​ Galilee, Israel's largest body of fresh water. This quiet backwater is chosen as a place of pilgrimage for those wishing to be cleansed and baptized in the sacred waters of the Jordan. At the entrance to the complex on the wall there are excerpts from the gospel story in different languages ​ ​ about the Baptism of Christ, although modern archaeological excavations indicate another likely place for this significant event. Here you can buy christening clothes, towels and get a certificate if you wish. Robe and towels can be purchased in advance - they are offered everywhere. There are convenient descents to the water, changing rooms, showers, but there are no left-luggage offices, so it’s better to visit this place not alone. It is believed that the vestments should be preserved - they will have a beneficial effect in case of poor health.
The situation here is very noble, I want to plunge into the sacred waters again and again, not for baptism (they do not cross twice), but for the purification of soul and body.
