The Garden of Gethsemane

On the path from the Mount of Olives to the Eastern Gate, right in between lies the Garden of Gethsemane, which gives every indication that this must the correct place where Jesus knelt and prayed, and was betrayed and taken into custody.

Of course, the landscaping has been done by the groundskeepers of the Catholic church next to it, but the trees that you see had been dormant for centuries and this area bloomed for the first time of our modern age in 1948, the year Israel was declared a nation once again, and without any human support. Incredible!
