You are confusing Calvary (a physical location; namely, a hill also known as Golgotha) with cavalry.

Cavalry is not the same word as Calvary. A cavalry is a highly mobile military unit. Calvary is a hill outside ancient Jerusalem. Calvary comes from the Latin word for skull. Cavalry is from the French cavalier, meaning troops on horseback.

You are confused with a capital "K." You do know the difference between "Calvary" and "cavalry." Cavalry is a mounted troop. Calvary is from the Greek kranion, from which we get our English word cranium. It means "head" or "Skull." Jesus was crucified at the place of the skull.... Calvary!

Get out a map and look it up. Calvary is the name of a place. Also called Golgatha. Both words mean "place of the skull".

Is this your attempt at being funny? If it is, then you suck at funny. If it is not, then your question make NO sense what so ever.
