🙏🕇🙏 The feast of "The #Exaltation of The #HolyCross" is celebrated every year on #september14.
This day is also called "The Triumph of The Cross", "The Elevation of The Cross", "Holy Cross Day"... It recalls 3 events: - the finding of the True #Cross by Saint Helena; the mother of the emperor Constantine; during a pilgrimage to the Holy Lands in AD 326,
- the dedication of churches built by Constantine on the site of the #Holy Sepulchre and Mount Calvary,
- and, the restoration of the True #Cross to Jerusalem in AD 629 by the emperor Heraclius after it had fallen into the hands of Chosroas, King of the Persians in AD 614.
But in a deeper sense, the feast celebrates the Holy Cross as the instrument of our #salvation.
