This the interior of the Church built at the site of the Garden of Gesthemane near the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
The church sits on the foundations of a 12th century crusader chapel abandoned in 1345 and a 4th ceturny Byzantine basilica that was destroyed by an earthquake in the 8th century.
Another name for this church is: The Church of all Nations as many countries donated funds for its construction between 1919 and 1924.
Most importantly, this is the site of Jesus anguish prior to his crucifixion recorded in Luke 22:39-46.
