Qasr al-Yehud (Castle of the Jews) is a baptismal location on the Jordan River. The site is in the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank 15 km from the northern end of the Dead Sea and southeast of Jericho. Qasr Al-Yehud is believed to be the Biblical site where John baptized Jesus; this symbolized his spiritual birth.
This stretch of the river is also where Joshua led the Israelites to cross the River Jordan into the Promised Land. The Prophet Elijah is said to have ascended to heaven from this location. The area covers both banks of the Jordan River - on the east bank in the Kingdom of Jordan and on the west bank at Qasr al-Yehud.
Visiting Qasr al-Yehud
Qasr al-Yehud was closed to visitors from 1967 to 1994 when the area was a no man’s land. Following the peace agreement between Jordan and Israel the site was reopened in 2011 and restored. It is now accessible to visitors with the addition of handrails and steps leading down into the water.
Several churches have been built near Qasr al-Yehud over the years beginning in the Byzantine era but only ruins have survived. Two new outdoor chapels are now used by visiting Christians of all denominations. Special celebrations take place here on January 6th for the Feast of Epiphany by the Western Churches; January 19th for the Theophany by Eastern Orthodox Churches and during the Easter weekend.
Two Baptismal Sites of the Jordan River
You may have heard of an alternate baptismal site called Yardenit, located in northern Israel near the southern end of the Sea of Galilee. Yardenit is also on the Jordan River and was created as an alternative site for Christian pilgrims who wanted to be baptized in the Jordan but could not reach Qasr al-Yahud due to logistic and security obstacles. Qasr e-Yahud is closer to the geographical location described in the Bible as Jesus’ baptismal site but Yardenit is a good alternative when it is not possible to reach Qasr al-Yahud.
That water looks so refreshing to me. It’s all so beautiful!! I would have poured water over my head.

The more vlogs I see on this site the more I wish that our church's tour in 2007 could have gone here rather than Yardenit. This is the real deal! If we ever go back we are coming here.

Zahi thank for this beautiful video it was amazing 🙏🏽
Happy birthday brother
Thanks
I loved your video! Very interesting 👌
Thanks Zahi for all your amazing tours. I’ve learned so much about the history of Israel from your incredible informative commentaries. My church Bible reading are in the book of 2Chronicles and the book of Acts. May I ask, what’s your opinion on paying (10%) tithes? Is it something of the past or not?♥️
Dear Mary, What does mother (the Holy Ghost say), ponder your heart. There is scripture to define this point. You are allowed to know where the tithe goes. Is it to feed the hungry? Is it to provide clothes or housing for those in need. Is it to provide medical care for those who have none?
God says to give him 1/10 to His Will ... I believe 🙏🏽
My thoughts exactly.🙏🤍🕊God bless!♥️
Zahi, very wonderful video🌺So beautiful brother🌴💞Bless you Tzahi✝️🙏✝️

Is there still a statue of Jesus and John baptizing him in the river still???? I have seen it in a Rosary of one of The Priests who was there...
I did see those statues of them
One of your best videos, what I especially liked was seeing everyone cooling themselves in the Jordan, it felt peaceful watching them.

Wonderful video! Ha ha yes taking a video of someone breaking the law by violating those signs would be quite a "scene” on youtube! Thank you. I used to live not far from Palm Springs, maybe about a 45 minute drive, so I get a better idea of what it's like there!

Mais on n'en sait RIEN ! Aucun document l'atteste !
I thought the Bible is more them enough. Please read it again
I would of had swim 😊...
Sorry Sir , Messiah was not Baptized in Jordan River , Jordan River was Muddy and not Clean Water, Messiah was Baptized Beyond Jordan River near Dead Sea, Because John the Baptist was in Bhetabara near the Dead Sea, John the Baptist din't go to Jordan River, Missiah come from Galilee and pass the Jordan Valey not River and go strait to Bhetabara ( Qumran ) because John the Baptist was in Qumran, this was Written in Comran Scroll
Indeed, you should apologize. Although according to John it can be understood that he was baptized on the Jordanian side of the river, but according to the other three gospels it is not. All the gospels mentioned the Jordan River and not a spring located next to it. It has nothing to do with mud or not. Maybe one day I'll make a video about it. Although I also think that John the Baptist had contact with the people of Qumran, there is no mention of it in the New Testament. Both things. Thanks for everything, I love thinking outside the box.
John 1:28 KJV, This things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan River, that's it, Sorry for my comment, Yah Bless❤
Jordon is so poluted!!!
I mint baptiz me
