A Note About the Photo Above

It is estimated that the olives trees in the Garden of Gethsemane are anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 years old. That means it is possible that Jesus may have actually touched some of the very trees in the garden. Join me for a “Food Meets Faith” pilgrimage to the Holy Land in February and see those trees with your own eyes!
