The Church of All Nations, also known as the Basilica of the Agony, is a Roman Catholic church located on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. It stands adjacent to the Garden of Gethsemane, a site of profound religious significance in Christian tradition. The church was built in the early twentieth century and is administered by the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land. Its name derives from the numerous nations that contributed to its construction costs. The building features distinctive architecture with mosaic decorations and a prominent dome, making it a recognizable landmark within the complex religious landscape of Jerusalem's eastern hillside.

The interior of the Church of All Nations centers on a large slab of rock traditionally identified as the place where Jesus prayed before his arrest. This rock is enclosed by a crown of thorns motif in wrought iron, designed by an Italian artist. The church contains mosaic works depicting scenes related to the Agony in the Garden. Twelve domes supported by red marble columns represent the twelve nations that funded the construction. Stained glass windows filter light into the sanctuary, creating an atmosphere conducive to contemplation. The architectural design emphasizes the connection between the interior space and the adjacent garden outside.

A visit to the Church of All Nations typically requires between thirty minutes and one hour for most visitors. This duration allows for viewing the interior features, including the central rock and surrounding mosaics, as well as time for personal reflection or prayer. The adjacent Garden of Gethsemane, with its ancient olive trees, may extend the overall visit by an additional fifteen to thirty minutes depending on individual interest. Pilgrimage groups often allocate longer periods for liturgical services or guided explanations. The compact nature of the church interior means that physical circulation is limited even during busier periods.

The Mount of Olives terrain features steep gradients and uneven paving that require appropriate footwear and physical caution.
