Garden of Gethsemane and Mount of Olives, Palestine

Title: Garden of Gethsemane and Mount of Olives, Palestine
LC Subject: Gardens Cities and towns
Description: Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Just opposite the Golden Gate across the Valley of Jehoshapat is the Garden of Gethsemane. Two places are claimed as the site of Gethsemane: one by the Latins, and one by the Greeks. It is genuine satisfaction to look upon the Mount of Olives, after trying to locate so many places of uncertain traditions. Of its authenticity there can be no doubt. No other part of Palestine is hallowed by so many memories of Jesus as this hill. He sought its olive groves for retirement and prayer, and there uttered words now familiar to millions of our race; it was from Olivet that he gazed tenderly upon Jerusalem and wept over it (Luke 19:41) and on a portion of this hill "over against Bethany" he gave to his disciples the benediction and parted from them."
