According to Christian tradition, the night before his crucifixion, Jesus prayed in anguish on a rock in the Garden of Gethsemane. The Church of All Nations, also known as the Basilica of the Agony, now enshrines this sacred stone. Completed in 1924, the basilica stands on the remains of two earlier churches, and visitors can still see Crusader ruins as they enter. Inside, the somber atmosphere and intricate mosaics create a reflective space for pilgrims and tourists alike, offering a tangible connection to one of the most poignant moments in Christian history.
