A pilgrimage complex on the east bank of the Jordan, built on a plot of about one hectare that the government of Jordan transferred to Russia in 2007 for use without a time limit. In March 2008 the site was consecrated and the cornerstone laid; construction took about four years and the complex was opened in 2012. According to OrthoChristian.com, the complex was created as a pilgrimage affiliate of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem.
Паломнический комплекс на восточном берегу Иордана построен на участке площадью около одного гектара, который правительство Иордании передало России в 2007 году в бессрочное пользование. В марте 2008 года участок освятили и заложили первый камень; строительство велось около четырёх лет, а в 2012 году комплекс открыли. По сообщению OrthoChristian.com, комплекс создавался как паломническое подворье Русской духовной миссии в Иерусалиме.
