The Garden of Gethsemane

Gethsemane: A Garden of Surrender

The Garden of Gethsemane, located at the base of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, is where Jesus prayed in anguish the night before His crucifixion. The name “Gethsemane” means olive press, symbolizing the crushing burden He carried as He prepared to take on the sins of the world.

This sacred space reminds us that:

• Jesus was overwhelmed with sorrow – yet chose obedience (Matthew 26:38–39)
  
• He prayed through pain, saying, “Not My will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42)
  
• He modeled total surrender to the Father’s perfect plan
