The Mount of Olives rises to the east of Jerusalem. The walled enclosure to the right contains the site identified as the Garden of Gethsemane. After the Last Supper, Jesus went to the garden where he prayed, accompanied by St Peter, St John and St James the Greater. Jesus was subsequently betrayed by Judas in the garden and arrested. The photograph is signed, captioned and dated (incorrectly as 2 March 1862) in the negative, 'F Bedford Jerusalem'. The number in the Day & Son series is 63.
