Olives, Mount of

A hill east of the Kidron Valley, east of Jerusalem. On its western slopes, near the bottom, is the garden of Gethsemane. Bethphage and Bethany are located on the top and east slope. This mount was the place of many biblical events (Matt. 24:3) and will also be an important place in events of the latter days (Zech. 14:3–5; D&C 45:48–54; 133:20).
