ÒThe next day, entering
Jerash, an ruined Roman
Òcity north of Amman, we see the tree used to make rosary beads.
Ò
Ò
Jerash was a Greco-Roman
Ò e
Decapolis city
of the Decapolis until
Ò
earthquakes leveled the city
Ò
in 749 A.D. Then
Ò
sandstorms and time buried
Ò
the ruins until efforts began
Ò
about 1920 to restore the
Ò
ancient site.
