The Cross was placed directly over the grave of the First Man.
Have you ever noticed that in classical paintings of the Crucifixion, there is a skull at the base of the Cross? It is the Skull of Adam.
Tradition holds that the hill of Golgotha ("The Place of the Skull") was the burial place of Adam.
When the earthquake cracked the rocks, the Blood of Christ ran down into the earth and touched the bones of the First Man.
St Jerome, the great Saint says, "Golgotha, the place of the Skull, is called so because the skull of the first man Adam, is said to have been buried there. And thus, as Christ died for all mankind, His blood fell upon the place of Adam's grave, symbolizing the redemption of all mankind from the sin of Adam. Christ was crucified on the very site, where death first entered the world, so that as in Adam all died, so in Christ Jesus all were made alive again". "Christ's sacrifice fulfilled what was begun in Adam, reversing the curse and restoring Grace".
The New Adam (Christ) literally redeeming the Old Adam with his blood.
