The Agony in the Garden
 
After the last Supper, Jesus went out to the Mount of Olives, a place called Gethsemane and prayed that if at all possible the cup he was about to drink (his Passion and Death) could pass him by, but the Father's will, not his, be done.  As Jesus prayed the Apostles slept.
 
Scripture:  Matthew 26:36-46, Mark 14:32-42, Luke 22:39-46 and John 18:1, 12:27, 14:31
 
NOTE:  One of the Apostles has a sword which is used to cut off the ear of the high priest's servant.  In John's narrative, this would be Peter.  (18:10)
 
Top window:  Crown of Thorns and the Nails of the Crucifixion with three white flowers, probably Easter Lillies.  The death of Jesus leading to new life at Easter.
