Introduction

The author recently returned home from a trip to the holy land. He visited sacred sites that have been part of scriptural history for thousands of years. One of his most meaningful experiences was while visiting a cave. The word gesemane means oil press and i knew i was entering a cave where olive oil was processed and pressed during the time of christ. I had a profound experience there, as my mind's eye took me back to what that cave may have looked like in first century jerusalem.
