Notes: |
Jerusalem, Israel - Gethsemane from Aramaic, Gat Å mÄ?nê, meaning 'oil press') was the garden where, according to the New Testament and Christian traditions, Jesus and his disciples retreated to pray after the Last Supper, the night before he was crucified. According to Luke 22:43â??44, Jesus' anguish in Gethsemane was so deep that "his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground." Gethsemane was also where Christ was betrayed by the disciple Judas Iscariot. Furthermore Orthodox tradition holds that Gethsemane is the place where the Apostles buried the Blessed Virgin Mary, after her Dormition (see Mary's Tomb).
The olive trees seen here are said to be hundreds and perhaps over a thousand years old.
