The Church of All Nations was built next to the Rock of Agony. It is used by all denominations. They are the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Protestant, Lutheran, Evangelical and  Anglican. It was built with donations from various nations. The Church of All Nations has a Byzantine dome, and Corinthian columns with frontage of mosaic inlaid. Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi designed this master piece in 1920.

A calm space to relax and reflect. Located just across the Kieron Valley with a view to the Gate of Mercy And next to the Garden of Gethsemane the Bascilica covers the remained of the rock at which Jesus prayed in agony; so it is fitting that it is now an oasis of calm. The church itself is ornate and beautiful but that perhaps is not why you would go there. Given the lack of private seating in the garden of Gethsemane right next door this is the space in which to reflect.

One of the most famous churches based around Jerusalem, found on postcards , and yet it took me more than 30 years of living in Israel to visit this amazing place !!. Don't just look at the amazing paintings on the walls , look up at the ceilings , there's art there as well !!. Best NOT to use flash when taking pictures ( there IS a way to take acceptable quality images in this amazing place even with smartphones ( auto ISO worked for me ) .Sometimes there are services being held , so respect the sanctity of this place ( hats OFF when inside the church ). Best to visit during the Spring and Autumn/Fall months , .RECOMMENDED

The Church of All Nations is a beautiful church commemorating the Agony of Jesus the night before he was arrested. The Church dates back to the Crusader era, and some structures predate that. Although the Basilica is a Catholic Church, an outside altar allows for worship by all denominations. The Basilica of the Agony is situated on the Mount of Olives, adjacent to the Garden of Gethsemane.
