The Garden of Gethsemane was where Jesus prayed and was arrested following the Last Supper. According to the Gospel accounts, an agonized Jesus asked his disciples Peter, James, and John to pray with him, but they repeatedly fell asleep. While they were there, Judas Iscariot brought armed guards to the site and identified Jesus with a kiss, leading to his arrest and eventual crucifixion.
