Kasser El Yahud - 2007

For centuries, Orthodox Christians have flocked to a spot on the West Bank called Kasser-el-Yahud, or "Fortress of the Jews". It is dotted with the remains of a dozen churches and monasteries.
This is believed to be the place where Jesus Christ was baptized.
Nowadays the place is specially opened two days a year for Christian pilgrims.
