Calvary in in Fausset's Bible Dictionary
(Luke 23:33). The Latin translation of the Hebrew GOLGOTHA,
"the place of a skull," a place of executions. A fit place; in
death's stronghold the Lord of life gave death his deathblow
through death (Hebrews 2:14). There is no "mount," such as
popular phraseology associates with Calvary. It was simply "a
low, rounded bore hill" outside the N. gate of Jerusalem
(Ewald, Gesch. Chronicles, 434, quoted in Ellicott's Life of
our Lord.)
