Wooden Icon of the Exaltation and Finding of the Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord
At the solemn service dedicated to the discovery of the Cross of the Lord, Bishop Macarius of Jerusalem raised (erected) the cross over the believers so that countless Christians who had gathered from the surrounding lands could reverently contemplate the great shrine at least from afar. This is how the holiday got its name - the Exaltation of the Honest (True) and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord - and began to be celebrated in Christian countries.
The Holy Cross was placed in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which Queen Helena built over the cave where Jesus was buried. She sent a piece of the Life-Giving Cross to her son Konstantin.
