Dominus Flevit means 'The Lord Wept' in Latin. This church was shaped in a teardrop to symbolize the tears of Christ when he wept over Jerusalem (Luke 19, 37-42)

This gigantic stain glass window offers a magnificent view of Jerusalem when seen from inside. While I was visiting they were holding an afternoon mass and was actually saying the Lord's Prayer (and in English as well!)

A big cactus next to the church

Afterwards I went further down to the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations

This is the garden where Jesus prayed after the last supper and got betrayed and arrested

A study conducted by the National Research Council of Italy in 2012 found that several olive trees in the garden are amongst the oldest known with dates of 1092, 1166 and 1198 CE. Damn, I originally thought those were there during the times of Jesus...

These 900 year old trees still produce olives!!

Wall relief of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

Jesus' words on a sign in the Garden of Gethsemane. (Matthew 26:39)

Outside the garden was this column which says, 'Could you not watch with me one hour?' (Matthew 26:36-41)

Front facade of the Church of All Nations. Christ is depicted as the mediator between God and mankind, on whose behalf he gives his very heart which an angel is shown receiving into his hands.
