“This is a scene of Gethsemane at night. Moonlight breaks through the clouds, highlighting the rocks in the foreground and illuminating an abyss below. Jesus lies in the shadow of a barren olive tree, supporting himself with one arm. Off to the side is a rose bush but with no roses, a reminder of the line, ‘When life doesn’t seem rosy, remember who wore the thorns.’ ”
