CALVARY

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 70 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CALVARY , the conventional
English
  rendering of the calvaries of the
Vulgate
 , the Latin version of the
Greek
  xpavwv, both meaning " skull " and representing the Hebrew Golgotha, the name given to the
scene
  of Christ's crucifixion. The
term
  " a Calvary " is applied to a sculptured representation of the Crucifixion, either inside a
church
 , or adjoining one in the open air. There are many examples of the latter in France,
Italy
  and Spain. Among the most important are the Sacro Monte (1486) at Varallo in Piedmont, and those at Guimiliau (1581), Plougastel (1602), St Thegonnec (1610), and Pleyben near
Quimper
  (1670), in Brittany, all in good preservation.,
