A calvary is a type of monumental public crucifix, sometimes encased in an open shrine, most commonly found across northern France from Brittany east, through Belgium and Portugal and Galicia (North West of Spain), where they are called "cruzeiro", "cruceiro" or "crucero". They are equally familiar as wayside structures provided with minimal sheltering roofs in Italy and Spain. The Breton calvaire is distinguished from a simple crucifix cross by the inclusion of three-dimensional figures surrounding the Crucifixion itself, typically representing Mary and the apostles of Jesus, though later saints and symbolic figures may also be depicted.

The crucifixion of Jesus occurred in 1st-century Judea, most likely between AD 30 and 33. Jesus' crucifixion is described in the four canonical gospels, referred to in the New Testament epistles, attested to by other ancient sources, and is established as a historical event confirmed by non-Christian sources, although there is no consensus among historians on the exact details.

According to the canonical gospels, Jesus was arrested and tried by the Sanhedrin, and then sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be scourged, and finally crucified by the Romans. Jesus was stripped of his clothing and offered vinegar mixed with myrrh or gall (likely posca), to drink after saying I am thirsty. He was then hung between two convicted thieves and, according to the Gospel of Mark, died by the 9th hour of the day (at around 3:00 p.m.). During this time, the soldiers affixed a sign to the top of the cross stating "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" which, according to the Gospel of John (John 19:20), was written in three languages (Hebrew, Latin, and Greek). They then divided his garments among themselves and cast lots for his seamless robe, according to the Gospel of John. According to the Gospel of John after Jesus' death, one soldier pierced his side with a spear to be certain that he had died, then blood and water gushed from the wound. The Bible describes seven statements that Jesus made while he was on the cross, as well as several supernatural events that occurred.

=========================================================

Kalvárie - scéna z ukrižování Ježíše Krista je událost z 1. století našeho letopoctu, kdy byl Ježíš Nazaretský povešen a pribit na kríž, kde zemrel a tím vykonán rozsudek ukrižování. Ježíšovou smrtí na kríži popisovanou v evangeliích vrcholí pašije – utrpení Kristovo a je spolu s jeho následným zmrtvýchvstáním nejduležitejší událostí krestanského náboženství. Téma Ukrižování patrí k nejcastejším motivum krestanského výtvarného umení.

Evangelia dále popisují, jak je Ježíš ukrižován na vrchu zvaném Golgota (Lebka). Na jeho kríž je pripevnena cedule Židovský král a kolemjdoucí ho uráží a posmívají se mu, že je bezmocný. Spolu s Ježíšem jsou ukrižováni ješte dva zlocinci, z nichž jeden se rouhá a druhý se Ježíše zastane. Vojáci hrají kostky o Ježíšuv plášt a dávají mu napít z houby napuštené octem. Opodál stojí Ježíšova matka Marie s príbuznou Marií Kleofášovou a Marie Magdaléna (tri Marie), Salome a milovaný ucedník (ztotožnovaný s Janem). Po té, co se objeví znamení (zatmení nebe, zemetresení apod.), Ježíš skoná a setník jej oznací za skutecného Božího syna. Na to voják probodne kopím Ježíšuv bok a konstatuje smrt.

V prvních staletích krestanství se stále ješte používaná a potupná smrt ukrižováním nezobrazovala, nepoužíval se nejprve ani symbol kríže, pozdeji symbolicky doplnený monogramem nebo beránkem. Nejstarší zobrazení ukrižovaného Krista pochází asi ze 6. století, casteji se zacal zobrazovat až za Karla Velikého.

Širší zobrazení scény na Golgote se nazývá Ukrižování (zvlášte obrazové podání) nebo pocešteným latinským názvem vrchu kalvárie. Tento výraz obzvlášte oznacuje plastické znázornení na krížovém vrchu, respektive na konci krížové cesty.
