Garden of Gethsemane Statue Description:
This 4-foot-tall bronze Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane statue depicts this shocking moment, inspired by the biblical scene of Jesus praying in Gethsemane before his crucifixion.
Clad in a robe, Jesus kneels on the ground, his hands resting on the rocks, his brow furrowed, vividly conveying the complex emotions of inner anxiety, pain, and steadfast prayer.
The sculpture showcases Jesus’s “full humanity” through his fear, struggle, and prayer in the face of suffering, while also highlighting his “full divinity” through his ultimate obedience to God’s will and his willingness to endure suffering for humanity’s salvation.
Relevant Background Introduction:
The event takes place after Jesus and his disciples enjoyed the “Last Supper” (the institution of the Eucharist) and before Judas betrayed him. It took place on a Passover night, the last night before Jesus’ arrest.
The Course of Events:
Jesus first came to the garden with his disciples. While “very sorrowful, even to death” (Matthew 26:38), he continued to instruct his disciples.
He then left his disciples to pray alone, pleading earnestly three times:
“My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”
Despite Jesus’ instructions to his disciples to stay awake and pray, they fell asleep in sorrow. After their prayers, Jesus, foreseeing that Judas would soon lead his men to arrest him, calmly accepted his arrest.
The Significance of the Event:
The scene in the Garden of Gethsemane is a recurring theme in Christian art. Countless paintings, sculptures, music, and literary works have drawn inspiration from it, focusing on Jesus’ loneliness, suffering, struggle, and obedience, as well as the disciples’ ignorance and sleep. It has become a classic imagery that expresses humanity, faith, sacrifice, and redemption.
In addition to bronze, we also offer the marble Jesus praying statue and the marble Last Supper statue. If you require any, please contact us directly. Dedicated Catholic artists will ensure the sculpture captures both form and spirit.
