Yardenit ((ヘブライ語:ירדנית)), also known as the Yardenit Baptismal Site, is a baptism site located along the Jordan River in the Galilee region of northern Israel, which is frequented by Christian pilgrims. The site is located south of the river's outlet from the Sea of Galilee, near Kibbutz Kvutzat Kinneret, which owns and manages the site. According to Christian tradition, the baptism of Jesus (Matthew, 3: 13-17) actually took place in Qasr el Yahud, north of the Dead Sea and east of Jericho. For centuries, Qasr al Yahud was the most important baptism site for pilgrims, and monasteries and guest houses were established near it. After the Six-Day War Qasr el Yahud fell under Israeli occupation. Due to military activity and excavations, the Israeli Ministry of Tourism decided to establish this site in 1981 as a replacement site. 〔http://europe.newsweek.com/jordan-palestine-dispute-jesuss-baptism-site-after-unesco-designation-330311〕 As a result, "Yardenit" became the first regulated baptism site on the Israeli side of the river. The Qasr el Yahud site reopened in 2011. The site currently averages 400,000 visitors each year representing all faiths〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.yardenit.com/?section=61&item=85 )〕 == Gallery == File:Yardenit12.JPG|The entrance to the site File:Yardenit5.JPG|Sign welcoming visitors to Yardenit File:Yardenit BW 1.JPG|Baptism ceremonies held at the site File:Yardenit.JPG|Baptism ceremonies held at the site 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yardenit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
