Jerash, the Gerasa of Antiquity (Ancient Greek: Γέρασα, Hebrew: גַ'רַש), is the capital and largest city of Jerash Governorate (محافظة جرش), which is situated in the north of Jordan, 48 kilometres (30 mi) north of the capital Amman towards Syria. Jerash Governorate's geographical features vary from cold mountains to fertile valleys from 250 to 300 metres (820 to 980 ft) above sea level, suitable for growing a wide variety of crops.
In the latter Ottoman period, the city of Jerash's name was abandoned and changed to Sakib, yet this was not a permanent development, as the name "Jerash" reappears in Ottoman tax registers by the end of 16th century.
A strong earthquake in 749 AD destroyed large parts of Jerash, while subsequent earthquakes along with the wars and turmoil contributed to additional destruction. Its destruction and ruins remained buried in the soil for hundreds of years until they were discovered by German Orientalist Ulrich Jasper Seetzen in 1806. He began excavation and a return to life of the current Jerash by inhabitants of older villages. 70 years later, this was followed by the Muslim community, Circassians, who emigrated to Jordan from the Caucasus in 1878 after the Ottoman-Russian war. Subsequently a large community of people from Syria came to the area at the beginning of the 20th century.

Jerash-Gerasa (Ancient Greek) مدينة جرش Jerash, the Gerasa of Antiquity, is the capital and largest city of Jerash Governorate (محافظة جرش), which is situated in the north of Jordan, 48 kilometres (30 mi) north of the capital Amman towards Syria. Jerash Governorate's geographical features vary from cold mountains to fertile valleys from 250 to 300 metres (820 to 980 ft) above sea level), suitable for growing a wide variety of crops. Jerash is known for the ruins of the Greco-Roman city of Gerasa, also referred to as Antioch on the Golden River. It is sometimes misleadingly referred to as the "Pompeii of the Middle East or Asia", referring to its size, extent of excavation and level of preservation (though Jerash was never buried by a volcano). Jerash is considered one of the most impor...

Descripción
Jesús sana a un hombre endemoniado 5 Entonces llegaron al otro lado del lago, a la región de los gerasenos.[a] 2 Cuando Jesús bajó de la barca, un hombre poseído por un espíritu maligno[b] salió del cementerio a su encuentro. 3 Este hombre vivía entre las cuevas de entierro y ya nadie podía sujetarlo ni siquiera con cadenas. 4 Siempre que lo ataban con cadenas y grilletes —lo cual le hacían a menudo—, él rompía las cadenas de sus muñecas y destrozaba los grilletes. No había nadie con suficiente fuerza para someterlo. 5 Día y noche vagaba entre las cuevas donde enterraban a los muertos y por las colinas, aullando y cortándose con piedras afiladas. 6 Cuando Jesús todavía estaba a cierta distancia, el hombre lo vio, corrió a su encuentro y se inclinó delante de él. 7 Dando un alarido, gritó...
Episodio tratto dal vangelo di Luca
Jerash/Gerasa es el nombre de una antigua ciudad de la Decápolis. Sus ruinas representan una de las ciudades romanas más importantes y mejor conservadas del Próximo Oriente, y se ubican en la región de Gilead, al noroeste de Jordania. Recientes excavaciones muestran que Jerash ya estaba habitada durante la Edad del Bronce y la Edad del Hierro (3200 a.C. - 1200 a.C.). Después de la conquista romana, en el año 63 a.C., Jerash y sus contornos fueron anexionados a la provincia romana de Siria, y más tarde se integró en la Decápolis. En 90 d.C. se incorporó a la provincia de Arabia, que incluía la ciudad de Filadelfia (actual Ammán). Los romanos garantizaron la paz y la seguridad en el área, lo que permitió a sus habitantes dedicar su tiempo y sus energías al desarrollo económico y a la cons...

Some clips from trip to Jordan when I visited what is left of Jerash, an ancient city in northern Jordan that once flourished with trade around the turn of the second century. 0:05 The Roman forum is an oval, an usual shape compared to the usual square. This was the town center. 0:13 Three Jordanians played bagpipes and drums as we went to see the theater. Some of us joined in to do the "Matt dance" with them because our school made our own version. 0:20 Some of the columns wobble! When we placed our hand at the bottom, we could feel movement. It was clear to see when our guide wedged in a knife that shook as the wind came. 0:40 Hadrian's Arch is a triumphal arch built in Roman design to commemorate the emperor's visit to the city.

I decided to leave my trip in Jordan opened and unplanned and boy was it worth it. The first moment I arrived in Jordan I met Moni, a fellow traveler from Lebanon and we decided to tackle Jordan together from Amman, Jerash to Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba and at the end we went camping in Sharhabil Bin Hassneh EcoPark. While camping, we weren't able to find anything to do so we decided to help the locals build fences around the park. This video is a showcase of our trip and hopefully I can transfer the energy we experienced of the country. For the editing of the video, I decided t...
