St. Peter’s Basilica sits atop a city of the dead, including its namesake’s tomb.

A Roman necropolis stood on Vatican Hill in pagan times. When a great fire leveled much of Rome in A.D. 64, Emperor Nero, seeking to shift blame from himself, accused the Christians of starting the blaze. He executed them by burning them at the stake, tearing them apart with wild beasts and crucifying them. Among those crucified was St. Peter—disciple of Jesus Christ, leader of the Apostles and the first bishop of Rome—who was supposedly buried in a shallow grave on Vatican Hill. By the fourth century and official recognition of the Christian religion in Rome, Emperor Constantine began construction of the original basilica atop the ancient burial ground with what was believed to be the tomb of St. Peter at its center. The present basilica, built starting in the 1500s, sits over a maze of catacombs and St. Peter’s suspected grave. The majority of Vatican City’s 600 citizens live abroad. As of 2011, the number of people with Vatican citizenship totaled 594. That number included 71 cardinals, 109 members of the Swiss Guard, 51 members of the clergy and one nun inside the Vatican walls. The largest group of citizens, however, was the 307 members of the clergy in diplomatic positions around the world. With Benedict XVI residing as a pope emeritus in the Vatican.

Franciscan Friars visit for the first time since 1967 the Franciscan Church at Qasr Al-Yahud , in the Holy Land Near the Jordan River , which is being opened for the first time in 50 years after it was cleared of landmines and other ordnance around the site where Jesus was Baptised. ( 14th Jun, 2019 )

Beyond its significance as the baptizing place of Christ, the Jordan River is mentioned many more times both in the Bible and in the New Testament, usually in reference to its lush vegetation and life giving powers. It is written in the New Testament that large parts of the ministries of John the Baptist, as well as those of the prophets Elijah and Elisha took place on the banks of the Jordan River.
As far as the Old Testament goes, the Jordan River is first mentioned in the Book of Genesis where its flourishing grounds are likened to those of the "Garden of God" (13:10). Also in the Bible, Jacob was renamed Israel at the Jabbok River, a tributary of the Jordan. Finally, in the Book of Joshua it is said that, like the Red Sea, the Jordan River parted before the Israelites so that they could cross it and enter the Promised Land. ( Our Group in Jordan River )
