A brief history

Consecrated in 1924, the Church of All Nations at Gethsemane stands among the remains of earlier Byzantine and Crusader churches. It commemorates Jesus praying before his arrest, as recounted in the Gospels.

An interesting detail

A bare rock is preserved as the devotional focus of the church, traditionally associated with Jesus’ prayer.
