Yardenit_Taufstelle im Jordan

Yardenit ist der Taufort am Fluss Jordan in dem Jesus getauft wurde. Der hebräische Name des Jordanflusses ist Yarden. Daraus leitet sich der Name YARDENIT ab.

 

Yardenit known as the Yardenit Baptismal Site, is a baptism site located along the Jordan River in the Galilee region of northern Israel,

 

“In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven; ‘Thou art my beloved Son, with thee I am well pleased.” Mark 1:9-11

 

Visitors to Yardenit are greeted by this very verse from Mark’s account of the baptism of Jesus in over 80 languages and dialects, depicted in hand painted tiles by Armenian artist Hagop Antreassian on the Wall of New Life.
