Jerusalem - Grotto of Gethsemane, the place of arrest of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. Let's travel to Jerusalem and let's visit the Grotto of Gethsemane which has been credited as the place where Jesus was arrested after being betrayed by Judas, and the site where he left his disciples before heading off to pray alone. The Grotto of Gethsemane is often confused for the place of the Agony in the Garden, as so it is sometimes erroneously called ‘the Grotto of the Agony’. In keeping with Biblical lore, pilgrims of the 4th and 6th centuries often venerated the agony and arrest of Jesus in two separate places.
The betrayal and arrest of Jesus occurred on the Grotto of Gethsemane linking Jerusalem to Mount Olives. There is a grotto ascribed to this pathway, which is known as the Grotto of Gethsemane. This was where, according to tradition, Jesus left his disciples while he went to the Garden to pray. Later, upon his return, this was where he met, and was subsequently betrayed by Judas. He was then arrested while the rest of his disciples fled.
The grotto is as simple as the most bare monastic cell, and yet it exudes an aura of calm. Many people have used this small simple room of rough rock as a place of worship. Over the ages the zeal and faith of the hundreds of pilgrims who have come to worship here seem to be imbued in the very walls. The feeling that it stirs in the visitors is a very moving one.
