Храм Всех Наций (Church of All Nations)

The bedrock where Jesus is believed to have prayed.

The Church of All Nations, also known as the Church or Basilica of the Agony, is a Roman Catholic church located on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, next to the Garden of Gethsemane. It enshrines a section of bedrock where Jesus is said to have prayed before his arrest. (Mark 14:32-42)

История

Согласно преданию на этом камне Иисус Христос совершил Моление о чаше. За камнем расположен престол храма

Современная церковь расположена на фундаменте средневековой церкви, сооружённой крестоносцами в XII веке и сохранявшейся до 30-х годов XIV века,которая, как оказалось, в свою очередь, покоилась на фундаменте разрушенной (возможно, персами в 614 году) византийской церкви IV века, построенной при императоре Феодосии I Великом. Современная церковь, как и две предыдущих, имеет форму базилики, причем повторяет очертания византийской церкви.

В 1920 году, во время сооружения фундамента новой церкви, на глубине 2 метров под основанием средневековой церкви была обнаружена колонна, а также фрагменты великолепной мозаики. После этого открытия фундамент был удалён и начались раскопки византийской церкви. После окончания её раскопок в план сооружения новой церкви были внесены коррективы по сравнению со средневековой: её алтарь сместили на 13 градусов на северо-восток, как у византийской церкви IV века, в отличие от средневековой церкви, алтарь которой был ориентирован строго на восток. Это вызвано тем, чтобы стены храма были параллельны боковым граням камня, на котором, по преданию, Иисус Христос совершил Моление о чаше. Этот камень находится в алтаре современной церкви, также как находился в алтаре византийской церкви. В средневековой церкви он находился под её северной стеной, а в её алтаре находился другой небольшой камень.

Строительство современной церкви продолжалось в период с 19 апреля 1922 года по июнь 1924 года, когда церковь была освящена в честь Страданий Господних.

Design and construction

The church was built between 1919 and 1924 using funds donated from many different countries. The coat-of-arms of twelve of the countries from which donations originated are incorporated into the ceiling, each in a separate, small dome, and also into the interior mosaics. The countries honored in this way are, east to west (altar to entrance) and beginning with the northern apse: Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico; in the middle of the church are commemorated: Italy, France, Spain and the United Kingdom, and to the right: Belgium, Canada, Germany, and the United States of America. The mosaics in the apses were donated by Ireland, Hungary, and Poland. The crown around the bedrock itself was a gift of Australia. These multi-national donations give the church one of its present names as the «Church of All Nations».

Two types of stone were used in the construction of the church: the interior utilizes a stone from the quarries at Lifta, north-west of Jerusalem; and the exterior, a rose colored stone from Bethlehem. The building is divided by six columns into three aisles, but with an even ceiling lacking a clerestory. This design gives the impression of one large open hall. Alabaster panels dyed violet were used for the windows to evoke a mood of depression analogous to Christ’s agony, and the ceiling is painted a deep blue to simulate a night sky.

The facade of the church is supported by a row of Corinthian columns. Atop each column sits statues of the Four Evangelists. First is Mark. Second, Luke holds a quote from Luke 22:43-44 “…factus in agonia prolixius orabat et factus est sudor eius sicut guttae sanguinis decurrentis in terram» or translated from the Vulgate, «And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.» Followed by Matthew holding Matthew 26:42b «Pater mi, si non potest hic calix transire nisi bibam illum, fiat voluntas tua» or translated “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” The final statue is of John. The columns and statues are set below a modern mosaic depicting Jesus Christ as mediator between God and man. The designer of the facade mosaic was Professor Giulio Bargellini.

The bubble-domed roof, thick columns, and facade mosaic, give the church a Neoclassical look.

The church was designed by Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi and is currently held in trust by the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land.
