Catholic Center Bans Baptism Site as Natural Reserve
The Baptism Site has been designated as a "Natural Reserve" within the National Network of Protected Areas by the Jordanian Cabinet. This decision comes as part of efforts to preserve the archaeological and religious significance of the site, along with its natural environment, which is integral to its identity, in anticipation of the upcoming bicentennial anniversary in 2030, marking 2000 years since the baptism of Lord Jesus. The aim of this decision is to promote sustainable religious tourism, with a focus on water conservation, biodiversity, and raising environmental awareness. It seeks to provide worshippers with a holistic spiritual experience, while adhering to religious and cultural principles, and maintaining a balance between safeguarding the natural heritage and the religious importance of the site.
