The icon commemorates the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River by the prophet John the Baptist. According to tradition, this event took place at a place where the Jews crossed the Jordan after a long journey out of Egyptian slavery. This part of the river is located near Jericho and near the monastery with a church from 1842, which are administered by the Orthodox Greeks.
