“Holy Land, Living Water” — Jordan, Palestine, and Israel (2020)
The Church of All Nations, also known as the Church or Basilica of the Agony, is a Roman Catholic church located on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, next to the Garden of Gethsemane. It enshrines a section of bedrock where Jesus is said to have prayed before his arrest. The Mount of Olives, one of three hills on a long ridge to the east of Jerusalem, is the location of many biblical events. In the Old Testament, “King David fled over the Mount of Olives to escape when his son Absalom rebelled” (2 Samuel 15:30). “Ezekiel had a vision of “the glory of the Lord” ascending from the city and stopping on the Mount of Olives” (Ezekiel 11:23). In the New Testament, Jesus often traveled over the Mount of Olives on the 40-minute walk from the Temple to Bethany, to pray or to rest. “He went down the mount on his triumphal entry to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, on the way weeping over the city’s future destruction” (Luke 19:29-44). “In a major address to his disciples on the mount, he foretold his Second Coming” (Matthew 24:27-31).
