John 10:16-18: So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). Here they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

On Luke 22: 40-44: On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

The Stone of Unction (of Anointing)
The Stone of Unction (of Anointing)
At the foot of Golgotha, is the stone of Unction or of Anointing. It is a polished red stone about six meters long and one meter wide. According to tradition, the body of Jesus was anointed and prepared here for burial.
John 19:41-42: At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

Great Photos Hannah! I was having a rough day today – then I took a moment to reflect on the day that Jesus had over 2000 years ago. I am so humbled and grateful for the sacrifice that he made just for me.
Thanks for sharing the photos

Excellent photos, this is one thing that I love about the Bible, even as a child….the places that it speaks about are actual historical and real places, not made up by man or mystical, just real places that you can find on any map. thanks for sharing these photos, great for people like me who cannot afford to visit those places

A must see for everyone to enjoy those photos.. thank you Hannah. Jesus’s love captures my heart and soul over and over again. Praise his name!

Interestingly, these are ACTUALLY photos of the “traditional” places-since the “actual” places are unknown. In fact, the Rock of Agony, listed here as being in the Garden of Gethsemane- isn’t! Pretty nice photos, but your captions could be a bit better, or at least a bit more accurate.

Dear Bobby,
I appreciate your input. The Basilica of the Agony was built on the traditional site of the Garden of Gethsemane, it enshrines a section of bedrock (the Holy rock of agony) identified as the place where Jesus prayed alone in the garden on the night of his arrest.
