Holy Landz offers water from official baptismal site of Jesus

Online, October 7, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Enjoy pure water by Holy Landz
The Jordan River has special significance in Christian history. It's the river in which Jesus was baptized, and many people have come from around the world to visit this holy place. For those who aren't fortunate enough to visit the location in person, you can be there in spirit and obtain water from the official baptismal place of Jesus through the efforts of Holy Landz.

Holy Landz is the first and only online store that sells holy water filled from the River Jordan where Jesus was baptized. According to the Bible, Jesus was baptized on the east side of the Jordan River and it's from this place that Holy Landz obtains its water. Israel also has access to the Jordan River, but not from the officially recognized site where Jesus was baptized.

Holy Landz water from the Jordan River is certified by the Royal Scientific Society Environmental Research Center to be safe and clean, and approved by the Baptism Site Commission. Holy water is available in a variety of sizes and packages. Of special interest is the sacred collection that includes four bottles, one each of Jordan River water, genuine earth from the baptismal site, virgin olive oil, frankincense, and an olive wood cross from the Holy Land.

Another exclusive is the Holy Water package containing a handmade glass vessel holding 50 ml of holy water, accompanied by a certificate in six languages - English, Spanish, French, Dutch and Italian.

The Holy Water Box features two handmade and hand painted glass bottles containing water from the Jordan, combined with a CD about the baptismal site, packaged in a red box. The package can also be obtained with a single bottle and CD. The site also offers Holy Water packages in a 50 ml and 150 ml sized hand-blown glass amphora.

The Bible says Jesus was baptized on the East Bank of the Jordan River. It marks the baptism of Jesus and the beginning of Christianity. The site is considered one of the three holiest Christian sites in the world. Bethlehem is the second as the birthplace of Jesus, and Jerusalem is the third, where Jesus' mission on earth ended until the Second Coming.

It's been recognized by all the major traditional Christian churches as the one true site where Jesus was baptized and was visited by Pope John Paul II. It's a historical area where a number of other important Biblical events took place. John conducted his ministry there, and it's the place where Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land. It's where the Bible says Elijah was taken into Heaven on a chariot of fire and where St. Mary the Egyptian lived.

The site now enjoys legal protection through the National Jordanian Park, run by an independent board of trustees, personally appointed by H.M. King Abdullah II of Jordan. King Abdullah considers maintenance of the site an honor and a sacred trust for future generations and pilgrims from around the world.

Many dream of visiting the site where Jesus was baptized, but few will ever have the chance to do so. Holy Landz understands that and the impact such a gift can make on a person's faith. Holy Landz offers a unique opportunity for Christians worldwide to celebrate their faith and obtain a piece of Biblical history.
