The
Church of All Nations, also known as the
Church of the Agony or the
Basilica of the Agony, is a Roman Catholic church located on
Mount of Olives in
Jerusalem, next to the
Garden of Gethsemane. The church is said to enshrine a section of bedrock where Jesus is said to have prayed before the night of his arrest.
The Church of All Nations was built from 1919 to 1924 using funds from many different countries, hence its name. The symbols of each country are incorporated into the glass of the ceiling, each in a separate, small dome. The Church of All Nations is currently operated by the Franciscans. There is an open altar in the garden used by the Anglican community on Holy Thursday.
