GETHSEMANE (Hebr. for " oil-press ")

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 911 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GEO-GNU
GETHSEMANE (Hebr. for " oil-press ") , the
place
  to which Jesus and His disciples withdrew on the eve of the Crucifixion. It was evidently an enclosed piece of ground, a plantation rather than a
garden
  in our sense of the word. It lay
east
  of the Kidron and on the
lower
  slope of the
mount
  of Olives, at the foot of which is the traditional site dating from the 4th
century
  and now possessed by the
Franciscans
 . The Grotto of the Agony, a fewhundred yards farther north, is an ancient cave-cistern, now a Latin sanctuary. (See further JERUSALEM.)
