Definition

Plural of Golgotha; multiple places of suffering, sacrifice, or extreme hardship, used as a metaphor for sites of great trial or tribulation.

Etymology

Plural of 'Golgotha,' adding the regular English '-s' plural ending. While Golgotha itself is singular, the plural is used metaphorically to refer to various places of suffering.

Kelly Says

When writers use 'golgothas' in plural, they're making a powerful metaphor—calling any site of great human suffering a 'Golgotha' echoes the weight and meaning of the biblical original.
