The Garden of Gethsemane, Jerusalem, Israel
The Garden of Gethsemane is located on the Mount of Olives on a hill overlooking the walls of Old Jerusalem. Jesus would come to the garden to pray, and it is here where the Roman soldiers arrested him before his crucifixion. On the day of March 17, 2010, we visited the garden, full of ancient olive trees. From here, we could hear gunfire coming from the Old City, as conflicts are going on around East Jerusalem. Pretty unnerving as most of us had ever heard gunfire like that before in our travels!

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
Garden of Gethsemane
Gethsemane (Greek: Γεθσημανή, Gethsemane; Hebrew: גת שמנים, Gat Shmanim; Classical Syriac: ܓܕܣܡܢ, Gaḏ Šmānê, lit. oil press) is an urban garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, most famous as the place where Jesus prayed and his disciples slept the night before his crucifixion; i.e. the site recorded as where the agony in the garden took place.
Garden of Gethsemane, 1914
According to the New Testament it was a place that Jesus and his disciples customarily visited, which allowed Judas to find him on the night of his arrest.[5]
There are four[6] locations claimed to be the place where Jesus prayed on the night he was betrayed.
The Church of All Nations overlooking a garden with the Rock of the Agony.
The location near the Tomb of the Virgin Mary to the north.
The Greek Orthodox location to the east.
The Russian Orthodox orchard, next to the Church of Maria Magdalene.
William McClure Thomson, author of The Land and the Book, first published in 1880, wrote: When I first came to Jerusalem, and for many years afterward, this plot of ground was open to all whenever they chose to come and meditate beneath its very old olive trees. The Latins, however, have within the last few years succeeded in gaining sole possession, and have built a high wall around it. The Greeks have invented another site a little to the north of it. My own impression is that both are wrong. The position is too near the city, and so close to what must have always been the great thoroughfare eastward, that our Lord would scarcely have selected it for retirement on that dangerous and dismal night. I am inclined to place the garden in the secluded vale several hundred yards to the north-east of the present Gethsemane.[7]
All of the foregoing is based on long-held tradition and the conflating of the synoptic accounts of Mark (14:31) and Matthew (26:36) with the Johannine account (John 18:1). Mark and Matthew record that Jesus went to a place called the oil press (Gethsemane) and John states he went to a garden near the Kidron Valley. Modern scholarship acknowledges that the exact location of Gethsemane is unknown.[8]

See a video about the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations. The place where Christ sweat great drops of blood as He prepared to go to the cross to pay for our sins. By HolyLandSite.com
Location
1. The Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations are located at the base of the Mount of Olives.
2. The Church of All Nations is built over the rock on which Jesus is believed to have prayed in agony the night He was arrested and then condemned to crucifixion.
Historical Background
1. The current church rests on the foundations of two earlier ones, a 4th Century Byzantine basilica, destroyed by an earthquake in 746, and a small 12th century Crusader chapel abandoned in 1345.
2. The current church called the Church of All Nations, or also called the Basilica of the Agony, was consecrated in 1924.
3. It is a Catholic Franciscan church and was built using donations from 12 nations. Therefore, it is called the Church of All Nations.
4. Gethsemane means “Oil Press” in Hebrew. The main source of oil in Israel was from olives, so it is also known as an olive press.
5. It was an olive orchard with an olive press in it. As a result, it became known as the Garden of Gethsemane.
6. How fitting it would be called, “Gethsemane,” as Christ would be pressed here beyond measure. Even to the point of His sweat becoming like drops of blood.

Garden of GETHSEMANE - Jerusalem
The Garden of Olives near the Kidron Valley.
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
(Matthew 26:36-42)

Garden of Gethsemane/Ghetsimani , Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, Israel HD
The garden of Gethsemane/Ghetsimani, Christmas, december 2012, near the foot of the Mount of Olives, is named in the New Testament as the place where Jesus went with his disciples to pray the night before he was crucified.
The garden, about 1200 square metres in area, was well known to the disciples as it is close to the natural route from the Temple to the summit of the Mount of Olives and the ridge leading to Bethany.
The name in Hebrew means oil press. Oil is still pressed from the fruit of eight ancient and gnarled olive trees that give the garden a timeless character.
Beside the garden is the Church of All Nations. built over the rock on which Jesus is believed to have prayed in agony before he was betrayed by Judas Iscariot.
About 100 metres north of the church is the Grotto of Gethsemane, where Jesus and his disciples often camped at night. In this natural grotto, it is believed, the disciples slept while Jesus prayed, and Jesus was betrayed by Judas and arrested.
