“Joy in reaffirming my baptism, in a place that I consider extremely important. Jordan river!!!” wrote Willian in the caption.
The first four photos show the Europa League winner being immersed in the waters of river Jordan while the rest show his family members following his lead.
Friends and fans haven’t been left behind on this as they have showered the Brazilian with congratulatory messages on his move.
