Mountain of Transfiguration & New Discoveries in Site of Jesus Baptism / Jordan River

Recent archaeological discoveries at the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Baptism Site “Bethany Beyond the Jordan” (Al-Maghtas)' have shed new light on the potential location of the Transfiguration of Christ. Systematic surveys and excavations, conducted since 1997 on the eastern bank of the Jordan River, have uncovered monasteries, churches, water installations, caves, and footpaths. These findings provide compelling evidence for the proposed or actual site of this significant biblical event, marking a pivotal moment in Gospel narratives as Jesus prepared for his journey to Jerusalem. The research highlights the importance of these discoveries in understanding the historical and religious context of the region.
