What does "Gethsemane," the place where Jesus prayed before his crucifixion, mean in Hebrew?
Answer Oil press
Gethsemane was a garden of olive trees (some still sit can be found on the hill today). An olive press would be nearby if there were olives. Thematically, Jesus felt pressed on all sides because of what was about to happen to him.
