Olive Tree...


from Biblical Times at Garden of Gethsemane a place or estate. The Gospel of John says Jesus entered a garden (κῆπος) with his disciples and prayed the night before Jesus' crucifixion.

Gethsemane appears in the Greek of the Gospel of Matthew[1] and the Gospel of Mark[2] as Γεθσημανἱ (Gethsēmani). The name is derived from the Assyrian ܓܕܣܡܢ (Gaṯ-Šmānê), meaning "oil press".[3] Matthew (26:36)and Mark (14:32) call it χωρἰον (18:1), 4]
