Garden of Gethsemane

Here we celebrated mass in the location that Jesus last prayed with his disciples. This was also the location where Judy’s betrayed Jesus and where Peter denied Jesus three times. The alter is built on the rock where Jesus last prayed. We also saw the Garden of Olives where one of the trees is over 2000 years old. This tree was around at the time of Jesus.
