Calvary or Golgotha are the English language/Western Christian names given to the site, outsie of ancient Jerusalem’s early 1st century walls, ascribed to Jesus's crucifixion. The exact location is handed down from antiquity. Although the significance of the name is lost to modernity, Calvariae Locus in Latin, Κρανιου Τοπος (Kraniou Topos) in Greek, and Gûlgaltâ in Aramaic all denote "place of [the] skull". In some Christian and Jewish traditions, the name refers to the location of the skull of Adam. The word "Calvary" comes from Calvaria in the Latin Vulgate.
