Exaltation of the Cross Relic of the True Cross at the Guadalupe Shrine

Exaltation of the Holy Cross

September 14, is called the ‘Exaltation of the Holy Cross,’ ‘Holy Cross Day,’ or ‘Roodmas.’ It commemorates two separate events related to that date. The first is the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also built by Constantine, in Jerusalem, the site of Christ’s death and Resurrection, as well as the grotto where Saint Helena recovered the Cross. The second event is the return of a significant portion of the Cross to Emperor Heraclius in 629 which had been previously captured by the invading Persians.
