A Catholic woman is baptized at the Qasr al-Yahud baptism site at the Jordan River outside Jericho in the West Bank on October 30, 2008. Faithful Catholics make an annual pilgrimage to the Qasr al-Yahud baptism site, where Jesus Christ is believed to have been baptized. Qasr al-Yahud is located in a sensitive Israeli military border area that until a few months ago it used to be open only four times a year to pilgrims. With the approach of the new millennium, the site is open for daily visits
