YOU DON'T NEED TO BE...

You don't need to be a Christian to appreciate the power of the painting below, one of hundreds depicting Christ in the Garden (and probably the best, in my opinion)
Painted in 1898 by Danish artist Frans Schwartz (1850-1917), it captures the moment in the Biblical Testament when Christ, just after the supper - his last meal - goes to the garden of olive trees in Jerusalem to pray and accept his destiny.
But for Christians, today is about something else - Ressurrection.

I don't recall ever seeing that painting - a lot of emotion. And, there's a lot of depth in the 3D pic!
