Orthodox Christians Celebrate Epiphany At River Jordan

QASR AL YAHUD, WEST BANK - JANUARY 18: A Christian pilgrim baptizes herself in a tub of water drawn from the River Jordan on January 18, 2010 at the Qasr al Yahud baptism site near Jericho in the West Bank. Hundreds of Orthodox pilgrims gathered at the site where according to Christian tradition John baptized Jesus in the waters of the biblical river. The pilgrims were baptised in the tub after the Israeli authorities forbade them to approach the river citing safety concerns. (Photo by David Silverman/Getty Images)
