Not far off we see the bed of the brook Cedron, which is at this season of the year completely dried up.

A stone bridge leads across the brook; adjoining it is a stone slab where they shew traces of the footsteps of the Saviour, as He was brought across this bridge from Gethsemane, and stumbled and fell.

Crossing this bridge, we arrive at the grotto where Jesus sweat blood.

This grotto still retains its original form.

A plain wooden altar has been erected there, a few years since, by a Bavarian prince, and the entrance is closed by an iron gate.
