The Jordan River – The site of the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, the Jordan River continues to be a gathering place for Christian baptism today. It is the river that the Children of Israel crossed under the leadership of Joshua as they entered the Promised Land. From this place the prophets Elijah, Elisha and John the Baptist called on the nation of Israel to turn from their sins and be cleansed. Today, it is the eastern border of the modern nation of Israel.
