Jesus Christ was baptized here before the official sermon, when the prophet was baptized, the prophet said he was not qualified to baptize him, but Jesus said he was the right person. The surrounding scenery is good, walking in the river, there are small fish around the feet, scratching, itching. Look at the process of baptizing others here.

The history of Jerash is a long and detailed one that is best discovered whilst exploring the ruins and museums of the city itself. The city was conquered by General Pompey in 64 BC when it was named Gerasa. Gerasa grew in wealth and later became a colony in the third century. Due to an earthquake and a number of crusades leading up to the 12th Century, the city’s ancient sites were not discovered again until the end of the 19th century.

The Hashemite Plaza is a plaza spread over 20,000 sq and one of the most popular spots in Amman. Located on Al-Hashemi Street, it has pretty foundations, lovely gardens, and seating facilities across the open area. With eateries, restaurants, and cafes a visit to the Hashemite Plaza is a pleasant way to spend an eveningNamed after the Jordanian Royal family, the eastern end of the plaza is one of the best places to take a stroll and enjoy the surrounding views. Also, the Amman Book Festival is conducted here each year. The Hashemite Plaza is surrounded by a couple of landmark Roman ruins. The Roman Theatre looks splendid with its 6000 seats looming on the southern side of the Hashemite Plaza. On the eastern side is Odeon, the smaller theatre. A short distance afar is Nymphaeum, the Roman public fountain. Besides, the Citadel Hill stands tall above the Hashemite Plaza and offers some great bird-eye views of it from its top.

The Castle was constructed between 1184 and 1188 by the nephew of the Muslim military leader Saladin. Saladin fought against the Christian military during the Crusades in the 12th Century. The strategic location of the castle enabled Saladin’s army to look out across the Jordan Valley for invaders.The Castle was once only accessible via a drawbridge until 1214 when a new gate was built. Pigeons were used in order to transport messages to the army from the castle. Since the Crusades, the Castle has undergone a number of invasions, rebuilds, and earthquakes which has left very few original 12th Century features. Visitors can learn more about the castle’s history in the museum located on-site.

Many artifacts in the Middle East were destroyed in the war, and this beautiful mosaic map was preserved by the earthquake, although only a quarter of the area, but did not affect the identification. The map clearly shows the names of the cities in the Bible at the time. The mosaic of the year is very different from the current. The mosaic of the past used natural stones, even the color of the stone is the original stone. This mosaic process of cutting natural stones into small pieces and then splicing together is a very complicated and fine process. There is also a small exhibition room on the side of the church, which displays the stories of the mosaic maps unearthed at the time. If you encounter large groups, there are local staff to explain for free.
