About The Mount of Olives
Rising just east of Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives has looked out over the city's rooftops and the glint of the Temple for thousands of years. Ancient olive trees still root themselves into its terraced slopes, gnarled, silver-leafed, unhurried. It is a place of vigil and prayer, of processions that wound down through palms and dust toward the Eastern Gate, and of a garden where the night air was heavy with torchlight and the scent of crushed leaves.
