Jordan, a land rich in history and faith, stands as a testament to the deep roots of early Christianity. From the sacred waters of the Jordan River, where Jesus was baptized, to the ancient churches and mosaics that tell stories of devotion, Jordan’s spiritual significance is unparalleled. Now, this incredible legacy is being celebrated on a global stage in the heart of Rome.

A Historic Exhibition in the Vatican’s Magnificent Neighborhood

For the first time ever, “Jordan: Dawn of Christianity” brings Jordan’s Christian heritage to the Renaissance halls of Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome. This remarkable exhibition, held as part of the Vatican’s Holy Jubilee Year 2025 and marking the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Jordan and the Holy See, showcases Jordan’s role as the birthplace of Christianity.

Visitors will have the rare opportunity to see 90 original artifacts—many displayed outside Jordan for the very first time.

A Celebration of Faith, Friendship, and Peace

This exhibition is more than just a display of artifacts; it is a celebration of the deep ties between Jordan and the Christian world. It also coincides with the 60th anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s historic visit to Jordan in 1964, a moment that reaffirmed Jordan’s commitment to interfaith harmony and religious heritage.

Walk Through the History of Christianity in Jordan

For those inspired by this global recognition of Jordan’s spiritual significance, there is no better way to connect with its history than by experiencing it firsthand. Walk the ancient paths of Bethany Beyond the Jordan, gaze upon the breathtaking mosaics of Madaba, and stand where prophets and saints once did on Mount Nebo.
