Vatican Media Chief: Jordan's Baptism Celebrations Signal Peace

The Director of Editor-in-Chief at Vatican media, Andrea Torniely, stated that the commemoration of the second baptism of Jesus Christ in 2030 represents a symbol of hope and a message of peace from the land of baptism in Jordan to the world. This anniversary holds special significance because it will coincide with the two-thousandth anniversary of the event of baptism in the Jordan River, which is considered one of the most important milestones in Christian history and is symbolized as the beginning of Jesus' public life and the calling of the apostles. He affirmed that Jordan, which hosts the historic site, is a sacred land and should prepare for this occasion in a manner befitting its spiritual and religious stature, especially given that a Muslim majority coexists peacefully with Christians in the country. This adds a further dimension to the global message of coexistence and peace. He also pointed out that commemorating this anniversary carries a message that reinforces the values of love, mercy, and brotherhood—particularly in times suffering from hatred and violence. It is expected that the celebrations in 2030 will help bolster Jordan’s image as a sacred country and a spiritual destination, reaffirming the importance of peace and unity among religions. He also noted that commemorating this event comes within the broader context of enhancing Jordan’s reputation as a land with a rich spiritual heritage and a long history of sacred events.
