In the News (Fri 21 Nov 08)

  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mount Calvary

Shem, and by the latter to Melchisedech, was finally deposited at the place called, for that reason, Golgotha.

  Golgotha
Golgotha or Calvary was Aramaic for "The Skull" and the place of crucifixion.
Golgotha would probably be a prominent place near to the public highway, for the Romans selected such places for public executions.

 From Sinai to Golgotha | Part 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
But at Golgotha the casual observer would hardly recognize God's presence, much less that this agonizing scene was His ultimate invitation to mankind.
Because of the supreme nature of the Golgotha revelation, it is a common misconception that the Sinai revelation is outdated.
As the remainder of this series will demonstrate, the growth from Sinai to Golgotha, from command to invitation, from fear to love, is a Biblical pattern (part 3) that is also reflected in the experience and theology of Ellen White (parts 4 and 5).

 Christ at the Time of the Mystery of Golgotha and Christ in the Twentieth Century
This is because the Mystery of Golgotha was a unique event in the whole evolution of the earth; in the evolution of mankind on the earth it was a mighty impulse which had never before been given in the same way and will never be repeated in a similar form.
When the Mystery of Golgotha took place the earthly body of Jesus of Nazareth was given over to the elements of the earth, and from that time onwards Christ has been united with the spiritual sphere of the earth and lives within it.
At the time of the Mystery of Golgotha something took place in a little-known corner of Palestine, something that was the greatest event in the whole evolution of humanity, but of which little notice was taken by the people of that day.

 Film as Art: Danél Griffin's Guide to Cinema   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
When compared to other Christ films, Golgotha surprisingly has the most in common with Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, as it skips to the end of Christ’s life and focuses exclusively on his entry and death in Jerusalem, with an emphasis on the Passion.
The key difference between Gibson’s film and Duvivier’s Golgotha is the central premise surrounding these events: If Gibson focused on the brutality that Christ suffered, Duvivier focuses on the Pharisees and the Romans as they decide what to do with Christ now that he has brought his influence into Jerusalem.
Besides the strong emphasis on the Pharisees and their not-altogether unreasonable motives, note how detached the twelve disciples are from Christ: Though they have traveled with him, they seem to barely know him, and as he rides into Jerusalem, they are convinced that he is here to overthrow the Romans.

 From Sinai to Golgotha | Part 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
In parts 1 and 2 we shall focus our attention on Sinai and Golgotha, and then note how God has led His people from one mountain to the other, first as told in Scripture (part 3) and then as reflected in the life and writings of Ellen White (parts 4 and 5).
The story of the pilgrimage between Sinai and Golgotha is really the story of a journey from command to invitation, from fear to love.
The basis for this series is an understanding of the law of God that appears with remarkable clarity in the later writings of Ellen White, namely, that God's law is designed as an instrument of life rather than an instrument of death and condemnation.

 WHERE IS THE HILL GOLGOTHA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
As a parallel thought, it is interesting to note that the place from where the temple was hewn also became the place where the temple of the Lords body was destroyed.
The second and more likely spot for Golgotha is near the temple quarry just outside of the walls of Jerusalem near the Damascus gate (This gate, or a gate in this location, existed even at the time of Christ).
The name Golgotha actually came from this beginning since this was the place that skulls were bashed against the rocks and often human remains were left there as well hence the name 'place of the skull'.

 Meridian Magazine :: Articles :Revisiting Golgotha and the Garden Tomb
The good news is that evidence is quite positive for the skull feature having been Golgotha, or the “place of the skull” where Jesus was crucified.
Three of the four Gospel accounts give the Aramaic name for the place of Jesus’ crucifixion as golgotha, which literally means “the skull.” This is what the local Jews, who all spoke Aramaic, called the site—“the skull.” Luke alone omits the Aramaic term golgotha, simply calling the place kranion (Greek for “skull”).
But whether we read Matthew, Mark, and John’s golgotha or Luke’s kranion, it seems clear that there was something about the crucifixion site that led the Jews of Jerusalem to think of a skull.
