The Church of All Nations, also known as the Church of Gethsemane [1] or the Basilica of the Agony, is a Catholic church located on the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem, next to the Garden of Gethsemane. It enshrines a section of bedrock where Jesus is said to have prayed before his arrest. (Mark 14:32–42)
The reasons for its construction in the 1920s were complex, with some political factors.[1][clarification needed]
