JerichoThe City of the Moon Jericho history and civilization uniqueness and holiness moonlight and warmth in its winter citrus aroma, and saltiness of its sea Jericho leads you into a journey of ten thousand years even as you ride a rented bicycle across its old streetsthe oldest City in the World. The aroma of its citrus trees, its pink colored mountains, the sounds of its frogs and beetles emerging from its irrigation ponds and wheat fields completely provoke your senses. The size of the Moon in Jericho can be seen at its largest in the World, and thus it was called The City of the Moon. Jordan River, flows gracefully on its eastern outskirts, is the holiest of rivers. Here where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist and the Heavens were opened and the Spirit of God descending upon him and a voice saying this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. . The Dead Sea, borders its southern side, is saltiest of all seas where no living creature could bare its saltiness. The secret of attraction to Jericho started ten thousand years ago when the first human civilization on Earth was initiated, this being an undiscovered secret. Another unreveiled secret is the choice of our Lord Jesus Christ to fast forty days and nights on one of its mountains and in its caves. On the Mount of Temptations, Jesus was also tempted two temptations and resisted the Devil : thus here in Jericho Jesus began his Ministry on Earth. People of old say repeatedly that the secret of its attraction is concealed in the sweet fresh water of its spring. The Bible teaches us that Prophet Elisha sweetened its bitter waters and blessed its land , not to barren any more. Jerichos fresh springs and waters, the saltiness of its Dead Sea, the warmth of its winter and the scent of its lemon, orange and banana fruits mixed with the desert sand smell . all these elements were created by a powerful, prevailing mighty hand , GODs Hand created Jericho. You can even smell the aroma of the elements of Jericho as you mention the name of Jericho at hundreds or thousands of miles away. Come and visit us in Jericho and enjoy your visit. Abdel Kareem Sider Mayor of Jericho
