Is the Garden of Gethsemane still in Jerusalem?
The Garden of Gethsemane still exists! It is a grove of Jerusalem olive trees on the lower slopes of the Mount of Olives, across the Kidron Valley from the Old City walls in Jerusalem. On the night before Christ's crucifixion, He went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray.
What is special about the Garden of Gethsemane?
The Garden of Gethsemane, the place where Jesus prayed and agonized about his passion, and where he was arrested after Judas betrayed him, sits outside of Jerusalem across a small valley. The Mount of Olives stretches as a ridgeline opposite the Temple; the garden was on this hillside (see it on a map here).
