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.
This is the bedrock that they say Jesus prayed on after The Last Supper and just before his arrest. Three of his disciples were sleeping outside. Judas then approached and turned him in by kissing him on the cheek.
When Leonardo di Vinci painted the Last Supper, he fictionalized the location and the scene. This is where it really took place, in the attic of this building which now houses a mosque.
Although I don't really follow Judiasm, it is part of my heritage, which was heartily-acknowledged on this day. I wrote three wishes (known only to me) and placed them in the wall. We found out that every few months the local officials vaccuum all the notes out of the wall and bury them in a ceremony.
As the bible described, there were 14 stations of the cross. This is station 5, where Jesus, carrying his cross, stumbled and placed his hand in this spot to brace himself. His cross was then taken from him, and given to Simon, who carried it the rest of the way.
Here is a sign to mark this station. Stations of the Cross (or Way of the Cross; in Latin, Via Crucis; also called the Via Dolorosa or Way of Sorrows, or simply, The Way) refers to the depiction of the final hours (or Passion) of Jesus, and the devotion commemorating the Passion. The tradition as chapel devotion began with St. Francis of Assisi and extended throughout the Roman Catholic Church in the medieval period. It is less often observed in the Anglican and Lutheran churches. It may be done at any time, but is most commonly done during the Season of Lent, especially on Good Friday and on Friday evenings during Lent.
Just inside the entrance is The Stone of Anointing, also known as The Stone of Unction, which tradition claims to be the spot where Jesus' body was prepared for burial by Joseph of Arimathea. However, this tradition is only attested since the crusader era, and the present stone was only added in the 1810 reconstruction.[22] The wall behind the stone was a temporary addition to support the arch above it, which had been weakened after the damage in the 1808 fire; the wall blocks the view of the rotunda, sits on top of the graves of four 12th century kings, and is no longer structurally necessary. There is a difference of opinion as to whether it is the 13th Station of the Cross, which others identify as the lowering of Jesus from the cross and locate between the 11th and 12th station up on Calvary. The lamps that hang over the stone are contributed by Armenians, Copts, Greeks and Latins.
