Jordan River: Water
It’s hard to resist touching the Jordan water because it is so clear and creates such a serene atmosphere, and because of its famous healing and purifying qualities. Bottles of water from the River Jordan were in great demand among pilgrims way back at the beginning of the century. And there are stories of Russian pilgrims who made long, arduous journeys to the Holy Land before the revolution, to be baptized in the Jordan in their funeral shrouds and thus ensure themselves resurrection after death.
