Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane at Jerusalem.

The Mount of Olives in Jerusalem is an elevation northeast and east of the Temple Mount and the Old City of Jerusalem. The name derives from the original growth of olive trees.

In the Gospels, Gethsemane is the place voluntarily chosen by Jesus to bid farewell to his disciples; his solitude in the garden forms a counterpoint to the previous communion at the Last Supper.
