Mount of Olives, Mount of Olives, Christ in Mount of Olives.

The Gethsemane Garden under the Olive Mountain is surrounded by green trees. "Gethsemane" means "squeezing olives" in Hebrew. Ms. Z pointed to the carefully cared olive garden: "These trees are all the same age as Jesus, and some of them are even earlier ..." The olive crowns honed by thousands of years of wind and frost almost fell down, and some old branches were always supported by wooden poles, like crutches in the hands of old people ... Ms. Z explained a passage in the New Testament emotionally: "Jesus finished his last supper, and he had a presentiment that his suffering time was coming. He was extremely sad and sweaty lying on the ground. After praying to God for three times, he gradually regained his courage and self-confidence and was determined to accept the future suffering calmly. At this time, Judas and the chief priests and others came to arrest Jesus. Judas follows the agreed code: whoever kisses is Jesus. When he came to Jesus, he shouted "teacher!" " Jesus kissed him and said, friend, do what you have to do. Then he was arrested ... "In the 4th century AD, believers built an altar in Gethsemane Garden, which was expanded by Crusaders in the12nd century and destroyed by Muslim conquerors. The present Gethsemane Church was built on the site of the original building at the beginning of last century.

In stark contrast to the sunshine, the hall was dark, as if Jesus had been betrayed that night, and a sense of solemnity arose. Several believers looked at the sacred face in front of the altar and prayed silently. ...

Around the first century A.D., a small Jewish Sect, Nazarene Sect, appeared in Galilee, Palestine, which means people who adhere to the canon. Jesus is an important person in this school. He inherited the Jewish canon and ethical thought, but opposed the complicated canon, etiquette and precepts in teaching, believing that these violated the teachings of the prophet and were not conducive to the purification of people's hearts. At that time, the whole of Israel was under the dictatorship of the Roman emperor Caesar, and the preaching of Jesus attracted the attention of Roman officials and Jewish leaders who were in power in various provinces of Israel. According to the narrative in the New Testament and the Gospels, Jesus was bought by the Jewish high priest with 30 silver coins by Judas, a disciple of Jesus, and conspired with the Roman governor Pilate to kill Jesus. After Jesus' crucifixion, his twelve disciples continued his missionary work, and the crucifixion was endowed with greater religious significance. Paul, the most influential disciple, broke through the narrowness of preaching Judaism, making Nazareth develop into a new religion, and a world-wide religion-Christianity was born. Since the birth of Christianity, there has been a strong religious hostility towards Judaism and Jews, and this opposition has continued to this day.
