The Church of All Nations 1946,Basilica of the Agony, Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Garden of Gethsemane, Bethlehem, Palestine, Jerusalem, Israel,
From the Album First leave in Palatine and Jerusalem, 18th September to 6th October album is a sight seeing trip off the religious sites of Jerusalem. The Church of All Nations, standing near the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, is built over the rock on which Jesus is believed to have prayed in agony the night before he was crucified. The church and the adjacent Garden of Gethsemane, with its eight ancient olive trees, provide an evocative place for meditation, especially when visited at night. The church is also known as the Basilica of the Agony. Completed in 1924, it is the third church on the site. Its design blends the façade of a typically Roman basilica with a roof of 12 small domes that suggest an Eastern character. The richly-coloured triangular mosaic at the top of the façade makes it a Jerusalem landmark.
