Golgotha description |
---|
Calvary, or Golgotha (Biblical Greek [] Golgotha[s], traditionally interpreted as reflecting Syriac (Aramaic) golgolta, as it were Hebrew gulgle "skull"), was, according to the Gospels, a site immediately outside Jerusalem's walls where Jesus was crucified.Matthew's and Mark's gospels translate the term to mean "place of [the] skull" ( Kraníou Tópos), in Latin rendered Calvariæ Locus, from which the English word Calvary derives. * Its traditional site, identified by Helena of Constantinople, the mother of Constantine I, in 325, is at the site of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. A 19th-century suggestion places it at the site now known as Skull Hill, some 500 m to the north (200 m north of Damascus Gate). Historian Joan Taylor bases a location c. 175 metres south-southeast of the traditional site on her reading of textual evidence. |
