The Church of All Nations, also known as the Basilica of the Agony, stands on the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem beside the Garden of Gethsemane. Completed in 1924 and designed by architect Antonio Barluzzi, this Catholic church exemplifies Byzantine Revival architecture. It enshrines a section of bedrock venerated as the site where Jesus prayed before his arrest, according to the Gospel of Mark. The church's construction in the 1920s involved complex motivations, including political factors alongside its religious significance.
