Jesus Praying in the Garden by Gustave Doré

The Agony in the Garden

Artist: Garofalo (Benvenuto Tisi) (Italian, 1481-1559)

Date: ca. 1524-1526

Medium: Oil on wood transferred to canvas

Collection: The National Gallery, London, United Kingdom

Description

On the night before his crucifixion, Christ went to the Garden of Gethsemane at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. He said his prayers; his disciples Peter, John and James fell asleep. Christ asked God, if possible, to spare him the destiny that awaited him. Eventually Christ accepted that God’s will must be done, and an angel came from heaven to strengthen and comfort him.

Garofalo depicts Christ at prayer while Judas, who has betrayed him, brings the Roman soldiers to arrest him. An angel appears in a burst of light in the night sky, carrying a Crucifix spouting blood into a chalice. This represents the spilling of Christ’s blood, which will turn into the wine of the Eucharist, and illustrates Christ’s prayer: ‘Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done’ (Luke 22: 42). Christ touches his heart and gathers his cloak ready to get up and confront his destiny.

Could it get any worse?

A gathering with Jesus, filled with mixed emotions, arguments, and a foreboding sense of change.

We arrived, all 12 of us buzzing. We’d seen crowds applaud Jesus as he rode on a donkey, and we were so glad he was finally getting the praise and adoration he deserved. We thought revolution might be on the way, and each of us was eager to find out what Jesus was planning to do next. No sooner had we got to the dining room than an argument broke out. Jesus, our host, sat at one end of a long…

Trust Me

1 Behold, a day is coming for the LORD, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. 2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those…

The Judas Kiss by Gustave Doré

The Taking of Christ

Artist: Anthony van Dyck (Flemish, 1599–1641)

Date: 1618-1620

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

In the darkness of the Mount of Olives, Jesus receives the kiss that consummates Judas´ betrayal while Peter cuts off the ear of Malco, the High Priest´s servant, with his sword, as described in the Bible story. This work from Van Dyck´s youth is directly based on Venetian models. The low viewpoint and the use of a single source of light contribute to its great dramatic intensity, which is very appropriate for the event. This is one of the painter´s most successful compositions and various versions are known, with variations only in secondary aspects. The Prado Museum´s painting belonged to Rubens. When he died, it was acquired by Felipe IV, who sent it to Madrid´s Alcázar Palace.

Red Heifer Update, August 2024

As the sacrifice of the red heifer is for the purification and consecration of the people of Israel, so was and is Jesus Christ.

Arabs have the understanding the red heifer will be sacrificed on the Mount of Olives across the valley from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Muslims are acutely aware of the 5 red heifer candidates imported from Texas. The article also recognizes the existence of the two previous Jewish Temples. “Temple worshipers are now practising the mitzvah [religious duty] of a red cow in front of the…

Mount of Olives | Israel

14 Trusted Charities Helping Civilians in Palestine After the Last Supper, the New Testament relates, Jesus and his disciples walked to the Mount of Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, where he was betrayed and arrested.
