One of the most iconic places on the Mount of Olives is the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations. Tradition has it that the Church of All Nations holds the rock on which Christ prayed before his arrest.
They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
– Mark 14:32

Grant, we pray, almighty God, that, though in our weakness we fail, we may be revived through the Passion of Your Holy Begotten Son. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
