“Jordan, under its Hashemite leadership and with the participation of its people, Churches and institutions, is preparing to welcome the world in 2030

“Jordan now has a historic opportunity to demonstrate to millions of Christians that the Kingdom is not merely a secondary stop on a pilgrimage itinerary, but an integral part of the Holy Land and home to the authentic site of the Baptism of Christ

“the commemoration goes far beyond a single anniversary or a celebration lasting only a few days. Rather, it represents a historic responsibility and an opportunity to direct the attention of Christians around the world toward Jordan, the land where the Baptism of Christ took place
