The Church of All Nations (Basilica of Agony) and The Church of Mary Magdalene.
Here in Gethsemane, at the base of the Mount of Olives, Jesus spent the night before his arrest by the Romans.
Church of Mary Magdalene - Russian Orthodox ("White Russians")
Built on the slopes of the Mount of Olives by Alexander III of Russia, the Church of St. Mary Magdalene is probably the most conspicuous house of worship in Jerusalem. It owes its prominence to the presence of seven gilded, onion-shaped domes jutting out from a monumental Muscovite-style body that stands proudly against the sky.
