Golgotha, also known as the Place of the Skull, is a site mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible. It is traditionally identified as the location where Jesus Christ was crucified. The name "Golgotha" comes from the Aramaic word for skull, which may refer to the shape of the hill or the presence of skulls from previous executions. Located just outside the walls of Jerusalem, Golgotha is significant in Christian tradition as it represents the sacrifice of Jesus for humanity's sins. Today, it is part of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a major pilgrimage site for Christians around the world.
