His waning strength now almost depleted, Jesus falls for the third time at the foot of Calvary or Golgotha as the mound was called. Both words signify "skull-like" or "place of the skulls". Calvary is the Greek word and Golgotha the Hebrew. The skulls and bone strewn about are those of victims of earlier crucifixions, left to putrefy among the other garbage dumped there. Now we see Jesus make a superhuman effort to gather the strength for the remaining thirty paces of the climb to the top.
