Queen Rania of Jordan is in Europe this week. Yesterday, Rania attended a World Summit on Children’s Rights, hosted by the Holy See at the the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City. Today, Queen Rania accompanied by Italian First Lady Laura Mattarella, visited the ‘Jordan: Dawn of Christianity’ exhibition at the Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome. During the visit, Rania invited European leaders to visit Jordan and experience its rich culture and tradition.
Held under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II, the month-long exhibition is a collaborative effort between Jordan’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the Jordan Tourism Board, and the Vatican. Both ladies toured the exhibition, which features 90 artifacts from over 30 different archeological sites in Jordan, aiming to highlight the country’s historical significance to Christianity.
Jordan is the land of hospitality – anyone who has visited us will attest to the warmth and graciousness of its people. But Jordan is also steeped in history. Everywhere you turn, there are echoes of the ancient civilizations that once called our land home – Queen Rania of Jordan
The exhibition also features artifacts from five pilgrimage sites in Jordan, including Mount Nebo, the memorial of Prophet Moses; Tel Mar Elias, the birthplace of Prophet Elijah; Our Lady of the Mountain Church, a shrine commemorating Mother Mary; Machaerus, the site of John the Baptist’s martyrdom; and the Baptism Site of Jesus Christ.
