Jerusalem, Israel: Gethsemane; things to do

Gethsemane


The Gethsemane garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives is where Jesus and his disciples are believed to have prayed the night before his crucifixion. The olive trees in the garden are very, very old--some are claimed to be 1,500 years old--and still bear fruit.

More gardens around the world.

More things to do in Jerusalem.

More ideas for exploring the Middle East.
