Have you noticed? The Garden of Gethsemane Experience (Lk 22:31-46) This lesson ends the Passover Supper, including predicting Peter’s Denial, and moves on to the prayer in the garden. The name "Gethsemane" means "[olive] oil press" in Aramaic ("gath shemanim"), and references to olives and
Our "Gethsemanes" are those places where our will wrestles to find its way to God's will.
