Christians make annual pilgrimage to Jordan Valley
Pierbattista Pizzaballa led a mass at a church near the banks of the river Jordan where it is believed Jesus was baptized.
Due to the pandemic, only 1,000 mask-wearing worshipers attended the annual pilgrimage that would usually gather thousands.
There have been 1,091,691 infections and 12,945 coronavirus-related deaths reported in the country since the pandemic began.
