Basilica of Agony, Also Known As The Church of All Nations

The Basilica of Agony which is also known as the Church of all Nations is a beautiful church that is located on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem right next to the Gethsemane Garden. In this Catholic Church you will find a stone slab on which Jesus prayed on the night before his arrest.

The church was completed in 1924 using money donated by 12 different countries – thus it got the name The Church of all Nations. The church was built on the same location as 2 earlier churches – a 4th century Byzantine church and a 12th century Crusaders church.

In the pictures I added you can see the beauty of the church. While in Jerusalem you will most likely visit the Mount of Olives – check out the Church of all Nations while you are there.
