This marble bas-relief was executed by Italian sculptor Giuseppe Torretto in the early 18th century.  Originally located within the Garden of Gethsemane, the sculpture was moved closer to the entrance of the sacristy of The Church of All Nations in 1959 during the construction of taller walls around the garden’s ancient olive trees.
