Baptism in the Jordan River

Yardenit is the Baptismal site located at the Southern end of the Sea of Galilee. The New Testament states that John the Baptist baptized unto repentance in the Jordan.
Jesus came to be baptized by him there. The Jordan is also where John the Baptist bore record of Jesus as the Son of God and Lamb of God.

Wow, the baptism in river Jordan must have been a very emotional experience! I love the music you choose for your transport and general videos. What is it?
