Basilica of the Agony

The Basilica of the Agony, also known as the Church of All Nations, is a significant Christian site located in the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem. It is built over the rock where, according to Christian tradition, Jesus prayed before his crucifixion, experiencing profound anguish—hence the name "Agony." The basilica, completed in 1924, features stunning mosaics and a peaceful atmosphere. It represents a focal point for pilgrims who come to reflect on Jesus' suffering and sacrifice, embodying themes of prayer, solitude, and divine connection in Christian faith.
