dc.description | Looking down from the peak at the west slope of the Jewish cemetery; The Mount of Olives (also Mount Olivet; Hebrew: Har HaZeitim; Arabic: Jabal az-Zaytūn, Aț-Țūr) is a mountain ridge east of and adjacent to the Jerusalem's Old City. It is named for the olive groves that once covered its slopes. The southern part of the Mount was the necropolis of the ancient Judean kingdom. The Mount is central to Jewish tradition since it has been used as a Jewish cemetery for over 3,000 years and holds approximately 150,000 graves. Several key events in the life of Jesus as related in the Gospels took place on the Mount of Olives, so it is also a pilgrimage site for Christians.
