Calvary, derived from the Latin word "calvaria," meaning "skull," refers to the site just outside Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified.

The term is often used interchangeably with Golgotha, which is the Hebrew term for the same site, indicating the place of the skull.

The events that transpired at Calvary are commemorated in Christian liturgy and are foundational to beliefs about atonement and grace. The significance of Calvary is encapsulated in the idea of the cross as not just a symbol of suffering, but also of hope and redemption for believers, emphasizing the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice.
