Jordan River, Qasr al-Yahud, is the site where according to tradition, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist Christian tradition marks this site as the place of the “spiritual birth” of Jesus as opposed to his physical birth in Bethlehem

In Matthew 3 it says- “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water- and, lo, the heavenslighting upon him- And lo a voice from heaven, saying, ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased’”
