Background Information on Gethsemane
Gethsemane is a garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem where, according to the four Gospels of the New Testament, Jesus Christ underwent the agony in the garden and was arrested before his crucifixion. It is a place of great resonance in Christianity. There are several small olive groves in church property, all adjacent to each other and identified with biblical Gethsemane.

Hymns Recommended by Experts
An invitation to follow Christ during his journey to the cross, from the Garden of Gethsemane to the cross.

A recounting of Jesus and his disciples in the garden of Gethsemane, and then moving on through the
trial, Peter’s denial, and the crucifixion. A hymn very appropriate for a Tenebre service, since each of the 8 very shirt stanzas ends with the refrain “Shadows lengthen into night.”
