On the eastern bank of the River Jordan, Pope Benedict XVI stood on May 10, 2009 and laid the foundation stone of the Catholic Church at the Baptism Site.

 

Two days earlier, during his first meeting with His Majesty King Abdullah II and the extended Jordanian family at Amman Airport upon arrival, he said: "I will visit in a few days, the Baptism Site of Lord Jesus Christ at the river that gave its name to this land. I will be happy to bless the first stone of the two churches that will be built on the traditional Baptism Site of the Lord."
