The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
On Saturday, September 14th, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, or sometimes called the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross. This Feast has a very unique and beautiful history to it. Here’s the story: In the year 313 A.D., the Emperors Constantine and Licinius signed the Edict of Milan which legalized Christianity throughout the Roman Empire and thus ended the major Christian persecutions throughout the Empire. About 12 years later, the mother of Constantine, St. Helena (who was a devout Christian) made pilgrimage to the Holy Land with one primary mission: to find the True Cross of Christ. Around the year 130, the Roman Emperor Hadrian had constructed a pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Venus over the spot of the Crucifixion and Our Lord’s tomb. When St. Helena arrived in Jerusalem, she ordered that the temple be razed to the ground. During the excavations at the spot of the temple, both Calvary and Our Lord’s tomb were uncovered—in God’s Divine Providence, the pagan temple had inadvertently preserved the two holy sites! It was on the spot of the tomb and Calvary that the famous Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre was built. A large church on the same spot still stands to this day! Three crosses were also discovered during the excavations, believed to belong to Our Lord and the two thieves crucified with Him. As the tradition has it, in order to identify which of the crosses was the True Cross, St. Helena had each of the crosses touched to a dying woman, and one of them miraculously cured her. It was thus determined that this was the True Cross of Our Lord! St. Helena triumphantly brought parts of the True Cross back to Rome with her in the year 327 and placed them in her palace chapel. The Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross was eventually established in September to mark the dedication of the Basilica in Jerusalem. Nowadays there are relics of the True Cross all over the world, and over the centuries many miracles have been attributed to the relics of the True Cross, and the relics have even been used in many exorcisms. As we celebrate the feast this Saturday, let us honor Our Lord’s Cross in some way by offering up a sacrifice that day or making a visit to the Blessed Sacrament or praying the Litany of the Sacred Heart or of the Precious Blood. And let us remember that beautiful exclamation we often hear during the Lenten season: “We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You…because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world!”
