Calvary is the site north of Jerusalem where the crucifix was erected on which Jesus Christ died. In Aramaic the site was called Golgotha because the hill resembled a skull in shape when seen from a distance. Heafodpannan stow meaning 'headpan (skull) place' is the Old English translation. Calvary itself is a Latin translation of 'golgotha'. Calvaire is the French term. There is no conclusive evidence that the site currently identified as Calvary is the true site of the Crucifixion.
