The Baptism Site of Jesus Christ
Cave Cells
Two caves (cells) were discovered dug into the upper layers of the cliffs on the eastern side of the Jordan River.
These types of caves are found in monasteries in “the wilderness”, near the banks of the Jordan River. Hermits used these caves as places of pious devotion, as dwellings, and for prayer. Prayer niches were carved into the eastern walls of the two caves, perhaps as an indication of the caves being converted into a church (place of worship).

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." ... People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. (Luke 3:1, 5-6)
