Church of All Nations, Jerusalem

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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
