# Mount of Olives
The “Mount of Olives” is a mountain or large hill located near the east side of the city of Jerusalem (see: Ezekiel 11:23). It is about 787 meters high. “Gethsemane” is a garden of olive trees on the Mount of Olives. Olive trees are a type of large evergreen shrub with tiny white flowers. People use olives for food. People use olive oil for cooking, lamp fuel, and religious ceremonies.
