In March 2016, we were in Israel and went on an excursion to Jerusalem. The excursion was chosen at Atlantis in the company, they have many interesting and cognitive excursions, the price in Jerusalem from $ 45. The first place of our excursion was the Gethsemane Garden
And the Church of the Passion of the Lord.
The garden itself is very small, located at the foot of the Eleon Mountain, there are still trees in it, which, according to Guide, grew up in Jesus Christ.
Olives are interested in that the old trees die away, and the new barrel from the root makes itself, there are no need to cut them there, and they are saved so many, many years.
Trees well-groomed, however, fenced by the fence, so it will not work close to them. There are paths between the trees, flowers grow nearby. In general, very beautiful.
Further, near the garden itself, the Catholic Church "Church of the Passions of the Lord" or "Basilica of the Agricon of the Lord", as well as the third name - "Church of All Peoples".
The church itself is very big and beautiful, huge columns and the same majestic doors with the canvas and the image of the cross.
From above, as if, on the roof, there are images of Christ. This painting is dedicated to the betrayal of Judah and the prayer of Jesus Christ before arrest. Inside the church, it is impossible to talk loudly and you can only take pictures without flash.
In the very center of the church there is a stone on which Jesus prayed before he was taken by the warriors. The stone is quite large, fenced with a wrought down fence, in its form the fence resembles a thorns of the crown.
On this stone, many people also pray and cry.
On the floor in the church, a longer mosaic was preserved.
The church was built in 1924 by the Italian architect. The church is located on the hill, therefore, when leaving it, a beautiful view of Jerusalem opens. The church and the Gefsemic Garden are very unusual places, be sure to visit them if you choose to travel to Jerusalem. In this place, the presence of God is very sensitive, because it was here Jesus made his last prayer for all people, and it was from here that he was led to the execution!
