Gethsemane is an integral part of the Biblical story. Here are such important and significant shrines as the Tomb of the Mother of God, the Church of All Nations of the famous Italian architect Antonio Barlucia on the site of the Catholic order of the Franciscans, with part of the preserved ancient Gethsemane garden, the Russian Orthodox Church of St. Mary Magdalene, built in 1888. After Gethsemane, our path continues through the Lion Gate on Via Dolorosa to the Wailing Wall of Mount Zion and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The general excursion around the Old city of Jerusalem and its environs includes not only familiarity with the shrines of the three monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but also reveals to the traveler an amazing world of history, archaeological excavations of recent times, cultural traditions of different countries that influenced the formation of the architectural appearance of the city Jerusalem. The amazing world and richness of diversity of different traditions, traditions and cultures are harmoniously intertwined in the narrow streets of the old city of Jerusalem, a holy city that hardly leaves anyone indifferent.
