Description
On verso:
No. 225. GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE AND MOUNT OF OLIVES, FROM JERUSALEM, PALESTINE.
From the eastern wall of the Haram Esch Sheriff, the site of Solomon’s temple, across the Kidron Valley, the visitor looks in an eastern direction upon the Garden of Gethsemane and the Mount of Olives with its three gently undulating tops. The middle one of these is said to be the place of the Ascension, and has a small octagonal chapel, the remainder of a basilika erected by the Empress Helena in 333, according to tradition.
The Garden of Gethsemane (the name means “oil press”), at the foot of the Mount of Olives, with eight very old olive trees, has been in possession of the Franciscan monks since 1848. Later the Russians bought some land a little higher up on the mountain side, which they also call Gethsemane. Still further up is the place where Jesus wept over Jerusalem, while near the brook Kidron stands a church erected over the grave of Mary.
