GOLGOTHA: The Place Of The Skull

Golgotha is a transliteration of the Aramaic word Golgoltha from the Hebrew Golgolth.
It is also translated Kranion (cf. Lk. 23:33; Judges 9:53; 2Kings 9:35 LXX). The Latin is Calvaria.

It is held as the site at Jerusalem where Christ and the others put to death with him were crucified. The term appears in the New Testament only in relation to the crucifixion (Mat. 27:33; Mk. 15:22; Jn. 19:17).
In all these places, the proper equivalent is the Greek Kranion which in Luke 23:33 is given as the name of the site without mention of the Semitic form Golgotha.

From the Latin calvaria and these forms we get in English the variant forms Calvary, Skull, Golgotha or Cranium.
