The Garden of Gethsemane At the foot of the Mount of Olives lies the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus is believed to have been praying before being arrested and taken for crucifixion. This garden is filled with ancient olive trees, interspersed with lush green grass, and a path through it. Its most remarkable aspect is its peaceful ambiance that allows visitors to walk about the gardens and absorb the calm it provides. The gardens are a true paradise of nature and should not be missed.
