The word "gethsemane" means of oil press. In the Garden of Gethsemane, olives placed in baskets were pressed down under great weight, causing them to give up their oil. There is a similarity between this and the Atonement. In this same garden, the Savior, under the weight of the sins of the world, was pressed down, causing him to shed his precious blood from every pore. This act of selfless love paid for the sins of mankind.
