We honor the Holy Cross by which Christ redeemed the world. People have been venerating the cross since the 4th century when St. Helen discovered it oh Sept 14th (See saints) during a pilgrammage to Jerusalem. The cross was discovered on the same day that 2 churches built at the site of Calvary by Constantine were dedicated.
Also known as "Feast of Exaltation" from a greek word meaning "bringing the light".
The cross is the most powerful universal symbol of Christianity. Devotions include the "Sign of the Cross" "the Stations of the Cross" and the Veneration of the cross in which Christians kiss the feet of Jesus.
