Israel Trip - Gethsemani

This was the site of the Olive trees that is believed to be one of the tree where Jesus prayed just before he was captured. Seems plausible since Olive trees can and do live for more that thousands of years. Now it is just a matter of which tree did Jesus use to pray as narrated in the bible. And like any other places that is believed to have anything to do with Jesus or any other biblical characters, there was a church erected within its vicinity.
