CHRISTIAN JOURNALISTS SPEAK
ABOUT JORDAN

“Jordan is the Holy Land that you don't often hear about, but you will in the near future. And, any trip to the Holy Land will be incomplete without the Jordan experience. In addition to the tremendous spiritual nourishment, Jordan offers outstanding food and accommodations that give a whole meaning to the word ‘pamper.' Jordan is more than the trip of a lifetime, it is the experience of a lifetime – one I will never forget. The only trip that could possible surpass my past trips to Jordan is my next trip to Jordan.”

Owen McGovern
Executive Director, Catholic Press Association

“Located in a strategic part of the Middle East, Jordan forms an integral part of the Holy Land and has played a significant role in the biblical account of God's covenanted people. Archaeologists have traced many events from the Old and New Testaments to sites in present-day Jordan. Pilgrims can follow the narrative of salvation history from Abraham to King Solomon and from John the Baptist to Jesus to see for themselves the continuity of the living legacy of Christianity.”

“Jordan offers some of the most marvelous sights in the Middle East, including much more of the biblical Holy Land than probably most Americans realize. The archaeology discoveries at Bethany beyond the Jordan are recent. They tell us much more about Christian life in the first centuries after John the Baptist preached and Jesus was baptized. Elsewhere, the Roman, Byzantine and Crusader ruins are fascinating to explore. Jerash in beautiful and green northern Jordan is the most complete and best preserved Greco-Roman city in the Middle East (and better than the ruins of the Forum in Rome).”
