Calvary: The Site of Jesus' Crucifixion and Burial

Calvary, also known as Golgotha, is a small hill in Jerusalem where, according to the New Testament, Jesus Christ was crucified. The word "Calvary" comes from the Latin word "calvaria," which means "skull," and the hill was named this because it resembles a skull when viewed from certain angles.
The site of Calvary is considered one of the holiest places in Christianity, and it is visited by millions of pilgrims each year. The hill is located just outside the Old City of Jerusalem, near the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is believed to be the site of Jesus' tomb.
According to the New Testament, Jesus was sentenced to death by crucifixion by the Roman authorities, and he was led to Calvary to be executed. He was nailed to a cross and left to die, accompanied by two criminals who were also being executed. The hill was already in use as a place of execution when Jesus was crucified there, and it is believed that many other prisoners were also executed on the site over the centuries.
Today, Calvary is a place of great reverence and worship for Christians, and it is marked by several monuments and churches, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Chapel of the Flagellation. Visitors to the site can see the remains of the ancient walls and gates of Jerusalem, as well as the stone that is believed to be the one upon which Jesus was crucified.
