The Sacred Garden of Gethsemane
Christian pilgrims on a Holy Land tour to Israel are deeply moved when they step into the Garden of Gethsemane, a sacred site that has witnessed some of the most profound moments in Christian history. The gnarled olive trees that stand here today are believed to be direct descendants of those that once provided shade as Jesus prayed with His disciples on the night of His arrest (Matthew 26:36; Mark 14:32; John 18:1). Some of these trees are estimated to be over 2,000 years old, creating a living connection to the time of Christ.
