The Church of All Nations

The Church of All Nations, also known as the Church or Basilica of the Agony, is a Roman Catholic church located at the base of the Mount of Olives. It enshrines a section of bedrock where Jesus is said to have prayed before his arrest (Mark 14:32-42). The church was built between 1919 and 1924 using funds donated from many different countries. The coat-of-arms of twelve of the countries from which donations originated are incorporated into the ceiling, each in a separate, small dome, and also into the interior mosaics.Read more
