SCENE OP AGONY: A beautiful walled-in garden of gnarled,
ancient olive trees surrounded by beds of flowers, marks the site

(Matthew 26:36-57). The Garden of Gethsemane lies at the foot
of the Mount of Olives, below the walled city of Old Jerusalem in
the Bible Land of Jordan. It is a quiet, peaceful spot, carefully
tended by Franciscan monks. One of the ancient trees is said to
be 006 years old, and is called the “Tree of Agony.” Beside the
garden stands the Church of All Nations, a beautiful church of
Palestinian marble and fine mosaics, completed in 1925. Before.
Its altar is a large rock supposed to be the one near which Christ
and His disciples prayed: The Garden of Gethsemane is a pilgrim
age place of special significance during Holy Week in Old
Jerusalem.
