This panoramic view captured with a wide lens showcases the exterior of the Church of All Nations in Jerusalem, also known as the Church of Gethsemane or the Basilica of the Agony. This Catholic church is situated on the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem, adjacent to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus is believed to have prayed before his arrest. The facade of the church is a prominent feature in the image, characterized by its intricate design and architectural details. A row of Corinthian columns supports the facade, each topped with statues of the Four Evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—symbolizing their role in spreading the gospel. Above the columns, a modern mosaic spans the facade, depicting Jesus Christ as the mediator between God and humanity. This mosaic, designed by Professor Giulio Bargellini, serves as a central visual element, illustrating the church's theological significance and its role in commemorating Jesus's prayer before his crucifixion. The panoramic view captures the church against a backdrop of a blue, cloudy sky, enhancing the contrast between the ornate facade and the natural surroundings. This image encapsulates the historical, religious, and artistic dimensions of the Church of All Nations, offering a glimpse into its role as a sacred site and a place of pilgrimage in Jerusalem.
