Calvary (Golgotha) is the English-language name given to the hill on which Jesus was crucified. The hill is described as outside Jerusalem, but its location is not certain. Calvaria in Latin, Κρανιου Τοπος (Kraniou Topos) in Greek and Gûlgaltâ in Aramaic all mean 'skull', referring to a hill or plateau containing a pile of skulls or to a geographic feature resembling a skull.
Golgotha
After our Lord was crucified,
The earth shuddered and sighed
All is quiet eerily still
Numbed – till at raptures thrill
Sparking hope within the gloom
Two angels stood at the empty tomb
Followers of the cross were drawn
No time for them to mourn
Master! Master! Came a voice -
At the sound they all rejoice
All creation heard the cry
And in the listening sky
The sun rose up so very bright –
The dawn took on a stunning sight
Nature thrilled with joy that’s born.
On this glorious Easter morn
White lilies poise against sky
Poppies glow in grass nearby.
