Jordan to host Christianity exhibition
The Jordanian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities signed an agreement with the Museum of the Bible in Washington to host the international exhibition "Jordan: Dawn of Christianity." The aim is to highlight the Christian heritage of the Kingdom and to enhance its international standing. The exhibition sheds light on the beginnings of Christianity in Jordan, showcasing rare artifacts that reflect a history spanning nearly two thousand years of Christian presence. It includes significant sites such as the Baptism Site, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with other religious and archaeological locations. The organization of this exhibition comes as part of Jordan's preparations to mark the second millennium (2000 years) since the baptism of Jesus Christ, reinforcing Jordan's position as a center for Christian pilgrimage and religious heritage tourism. It has previously been displayed in the Vatican and the Italian city of Assisi, and is scheduled to open at the Museum of the Bible in Washington during the first quarter of 2027.
