Calvary: Only in
(Luke 23:33) the Latin name Calvaria, which was used as a
translation of the Greek word Kranion, by which the Hebrew word
Gulgoleth was interpreted, "the place of a skull." It probably took
this name from its shape, being a hillock or low, rounded, bare
elevation somewhat in the form of a human skull. It is nowhere in
Scripture called a "hill." The crucifixion of our Lord took place
outside the city walls
(Hebrews 13:11-13) and near the public
thoroughfare. "This thing was not done in a corner."
