Garden of Gethsemane, Jerusalem
© 1995 David Graves, ECM

The garden of Gethsemane is filled with olive trees dating back some 1500 years. New brancehs can be grafted into the old roots keeping the trees growing for many years. The name of an olive-yard at the foot of the Mount of Olives, to which Jesus was wont to retire (Luke 22:39) with his disciples, and which is specially memorable as being the scene of his agony (Mark 14:32; John 18:1; Luke 22:44). The plot of ground pointed out as Gethsemane is now surrounded by a wall, and is laid out as a modern European flower-garden. It contains eight venerable olive-trees, the age of which cannot, however, be determined.
