skull, fr. calva the scalp without hair. fr. calvus bald; cf.
F. calvaire.]
1. The place where Christ was crucified, on a small hill
outside of Jerusalem. --Luke xxiii. 33.
Note: The Latin calvaria is a translation of the Greek
krani`on of the Evangelists, which is an interpretation
of the Hebrew Golgotha. --Dr. W. Smith.
2. A representation of the crucifixion, consisting of three
crosses with the figures of Christ and the thieves, often
as large as life, and sometimes surrounded by figures of
other personages who were present at the crucifixion.

| | Definition: | | 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 (Heb. 13:11-13) and near the public thoroughfare. "This thing was not done in a corner." (See GOLGOTHA.) |
