One of the most famous places mentioned in the gospels may be the Garden of Gethsemane - according to Mark and Matthew, this was the place where Jesus prayed alone and asked that he not have to endure the suffering and crucifixion that was to come. It was also here that his betrayal by Judas and arrest occurred. A couple of sites today claim to be the location of the Garden of Gethsemane, but as none can be traced back earlier than the 4th century, the veracity of their claims is dubious.
