Jordan Valley baptism site opens to public - film & video production services avbailable

noreply@blogger.com (Highlight Films Israel) — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 21:49:00 +0000

Israel opened today the traditional baptism site of Jesus to daily visits - a move that required the cooperation of Israel's military and the removal of hundreds of land mines in the West Bank along the border with Jordan.
Until now, the site opened several times a year in coordination with the Israeli military, but because of its sensitive location, it had not been regularly open to the public since Israel captured the site from Jordan, along with the rest of the West Bank, in the 1967 Mideast war. The location, where many believe John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the waters of the Jordan River, is one of the most important sites in Christianity. In the last few years we have filmed many times in the baptism site and the nearby structures.
