Today is the Feast Day of The Exultation of the Holy Cross.

 


Exaltation of the Holy Cross Icon


What an unusual name for a Feast Day. When I first found this Feast Day listed, it did not really connect. It wasn't about a person and felt a bit hidden in ancient relics and customs. Although that has its own history the cross is still the primary symbol for Christians all over the world. We recognize the Cross as that place where Christ suffered and died for the world, and that important step on the road to resurrection. O death where is your Victory. When we look at the cross we remember both the Death and the Victory. In the midst of a worldwide pandemic perhaps this reality is more present than ever.
