Where was Jesus crucified?

Answer 1

golgotta or place of the skull.

Answer 2

The word Calvary (Lat. Calvaria) means "a skull". Calvaria and the Gr. Kranion are equivalents for the original Golgotha. The ingenious conjecture that Golgotha may be a contraction for Gol Goatha and may accordingly have signified "mount of execution", and been related to Goatha in Jer., xxxi, 39, has found scarcely any supporters. The diminutive monticulus (little mount) was coupled with the name A.D. 333 by the "Pilgrim of Bordeaux".

Towards the beginning of the fifth century Rufinus spoke of "the rock of Golgotha". Since the sixth century the usage has been to designate Calvary as a mountain. The Gospel styles it merely a "place", (Matthew 27:33; Mark 15:22; Luke 23:33; John 19:17).

Origin of the Name

The following theories have been advanced:

Calvary may have been a place of public execution, and so named from the skulls strewn over it. The victims were perhaps abandoned to become a prey to birds and beasts, as Jezabel and Pharao's baker had been (2 Kings 9:35; Genesis 40:19, 22).
Its name may have been derived from a cemetery that may have stood near. There is no reason for believing that Joseph's tomb, in which the body of Christ was laid, was an isolated one, especially since it was located in the district later on described by Josephus as containing the monument of the high-priest John. This hypothesis has the further advantage of explaining the thinness of the population in this quarter at so late a period as that of the siege of Jerusalem (Jos., Bell. jud., V, vi, 2). Moreover, each of the rival Calvaries of to-day is near a group of ancient Jewish tombs.
The name may have been occasioned by the physical contour of the place. St. Luke (loc. cit.) seems to this by saying it was the place called "a skull" (kranion). Moreover, Golgotha (from a Hebrew root meaning "to roll"), which borrows its signification from the rounded or rolling form of the skull, might also have been applied to a skull-shaped hillock.
There was a tradition current among the Jews that the skull of Adam, after having been confided by Noah to his son Shem, and by the latter to Melchisedech, was finally deposited at the place called, for that reason, Golgotha. The Talmudists and the Fathers of the Church were aware of this tradition, and it survives in the skulls and bones placed at the foot of the crucifix. The Evangelists are not opposed to it, inasmuch as they speak of one and not of many skulls. (Luke, Mark, John, loc. cit.)

Answer 3

He was crucified in Golgatha, which is called place of the skulls, on a hill called Calvary. Read the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and you'll get your answer.

Answer 4

I have read the bible numerous times and I think that Golgotha is one the peaks of the Mount of Olives. If you know anything about the topography and geography of Jerusalem as well as the orientation of the opening to the Holy of holies which faced east. It can only be the Mount of Olives. The bible says that the Roman soldier looked over into the Holy of Holies and saw that veil was rent (torn). The only way that Roman soldier could have seen into the Holy of Holies, is to have been standing on a high place immediately east and near to the Holy of Holies. Remember Jerusalem was surrounded by walls, so one had to be standing on a high place in order to see over the walls. Again, if anyone knows anything about the topography and geography of Jersalem and the orientation of the Holy of Holies which again, faced east, the only high place east and in the immediate vicinity of the Holy of Holies is the Mount of Olives.

Answer 5

On a hill outside of Jerusalem, which was by a main road leading into the city. The hill was known as "Golgotha," which in Aramaic means, "Place of the Skull." (It has a resemblance to a skull's face.)

Calvary is the English transliteration of the Latin name "Calvariae," which, in Latin, is the same as Golgotha.
