  • Visit the "Did You Know" section of the Monastery Icons website (www.monasteryicons.com/catego...) to learn the rich treasures of Christian Tradition.
    THE HOLY CROSS OF CHRIST has much history and lore behind it -- many amazing truths, and many surprising misconceptions.
    "The stone which the builders rejected"
    Archeological excavations begun in 1960 revealed that the Mount of Golgotha was part of an ancient quarry, in use as early as the 7th century B.C. Within the quarry, the Rock of Golgotha was a section of rocky ground that was not used, probably because of the mediocre durability and quality of the chalky rock, thus fulfilling the Psalmist's prophetic words: "The stone the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone".
    “And the rocks were split apart”
    In the Gospel of Matthew it tells how when Jesus gave up his spirit, “the earth shook and the rocks were split apart.” If you visit the Shrine of Golgotha in the Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem, you will see huge boulders, with large splits in them, displayed in glass cases on either side of the altar marking the site of the Crucifixion. Modern archeologists discovered that the rupture caused by the earthquake at this sacred moment went through the entire Rock of Golgotha, from the top to the bottom.
    Beneath the cross, the most ancient chapel
    In 1977 a double-cave tomb was discovered only three meters directly below the present shrine of the Crucifixion. The cave tomb had been turned into a place of worship by Christ's followers, possibly even his disciples, which showed evidence of being plastered and decorated with mosaics sometime in the first century. This is the most ancient chapel in Christian history.
    An pagan emperor marks the spot
    Seeing the ruins of Jerusalem wrought by the Roman armies in the year 70 A.D., the Roman Emperor Hadrian ordered the gardens and cemeteries around Golgotha, and Christ's Holy Tomb itself, to be filled in with dirt, and a great platform erected over the spot, which later was the site of a temple to the goddess Venus. Ironically this served to safeguard the memory of the site of Christ's death and burial. Ancient histories testify that the Rock of Golgotha actually protruded through the pagan platform, visible to all. Saint Jerome writes that on the peak of Golgotha was a pedestal with a stone statue of Aphrodite. This made it very easy for Saint Macarius the bishop of Jerusalem to easily point out the spot to Saint Helen and her excavators when they sought for the tomb of Christ.
    Three crosses are found
    Commissioned and funded by her son Saint Constantine, the emperor of Byzantium, Saint Helen embarked on a mission to the Holy Land in 326 to restore the Christian holy places and recover the important relics of Christianity. At the time of Saint Helen's excavations around the site of Golgotha, three crosses were found in a rock cistern, along with the titlulus (the wood plaque inscribed with Jesus Nazaranus Rex Iudaeorum), Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. This cistern can be visited today, in the deepest levels of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem off of the Armenian chapel. The excavation is a large dark cavern holding a large quantity of water, a minor miracle of ancient laborers.
    Which is the Lord's?
    he three crosses and the titulus were removed from the cistern. But how could Saint Helen tell which of the three crosses was the one on which Christ was crucified? A woman dying from a terminal disease was brought to the spot. She touched the crosses, one by one. After she touched the third cross, she was immediately cured, thereby identifying the true Cross.

    How fascinating . When I lived in Jerusalem in mid 70’s- 81. I saw the Holy Sepulchre and I was praying asking to be shown that despite all the Gold and silver ornaments , was this the correct Calvary as Protestants claim another one also in Jerusalem 🧐🙄🥱.
    Anyway the young Greek Orthodox Priest came to me where I was praying and told me to come with him.
    He took me where only the Elite Popes and hierarchy are permitted and there was a huge thick red velvet curtain, with a huge padlock that was verrrrry old.
    Behind the bars of the gate was the rock jutting out of back of the wall of where the beautiful icon of Christ was..z
    I drew a deep breath as I could see it was the actual rock the crucified Jesus and on it a huge split in the rock!!!
    I was so taken back, my Lord my God showed me the truth and I believe it is the accurate place.
    Blessed is the Lamb slaughtered so that I may live!!

      A lot of twisting of Scripture you did there.
      "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. "
      Deuteronomy 4:2 KJV
      "What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.'"
      Deuteronomy 12:32 KJV
      "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."
      Proverbs 30:5-6 KJV
      "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
      Revelation 22:18-19 KJV
      Stop using those satanic, modern per-versions of the Bible. Stick to the pure word of God, the King James Bible, and don't ever add to the word of God.
      "For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ."
      2 Corinthians 2:17 KJV

      I hope your eyes will be opened to this pagan symbol . I don’t mean to bring you down because that’s not the Christian way of things but look up the Greek translation of (Stauros) which translates to the stake . The cross has many pagan symbols and it’s not something 1st century Christians taught .
      Also Hades is rendered by the Greek translation (Sheol) the grave . Why would a loving God want to condemn something His created to a lifetime of cutoff .
      Please do your research on this symbol that has become such a big part of Christianity .
      My Jehovah / Yahweh continue blessing you .

    I used to live in the suburbs of Chicago IL USA. Near the town that I lived in, was a Roman seminary, Techny. It still is there, although it's not a seminary any more. The church itself is a beautiful, breathtaking example of the art of Trompe l'oeil, all of the marble in the church is actually hand painted. The work took over twenty years to complete.
    In the upper gallery is a small meditation chapel. On one of the walls, is a large collection of relics. By far the largest, and most decorated, is a First Class relic of the Cross, hardly more than a sliver. I of course have no idea if it is a true relic, or not. I'm a little skeptical about it though.
    We have no real way of knowing exactly if the cross was a full cross as is traditionally depicted Jesus carrying. Or did he carry just the cross beam, while the uprights were a permanent installation. In either case, it really makes no sense to me that anyone would have actually saved it. I also have a little difficulty believing that the Romans would have let anyone just take it. It also doesn't make sense that the crosses were only used one time, and then disposed of.
    Add to that the fact that the Apostles were so demoralized that they pretty much hid in a house of some sort. They were afraid that they also would be put to death. So it makes no sense that any of them would have risked taking it.
    And finally, crucifixion was considered shameful to most people. Only the lowest criminals were put to death that way. So again, given that fact, I have a hard time believing that anyone would have kept it. One final thought. I don't know that any untreated wood could have survived several years intact, most likely just tossed away, or buried.

      Jesus did not die on a cross. He died on a tree or a torture stake. The original Greek word for the instrument that Jesus (Yeshua) Christ died on is Stauros. Stauros means a single upright pole and not two pieces of wood put together. The churches have been lying and deceiving people for many years. It is time that we wake up and see the truth for ourselves.

      @@emmanuelmiguel2686 seems like they are idolising the cross . Sorry the torture stake ( stauros) am sure exodus 20:4 you must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like things in the heavens above or on the earth below .
      People are very informed I pray that your eyes are opened . Praise be to Jehovah and our Lord and saviour Christ Jesus .

      that shows how much God loves us. Yeshua died to save us from death.
      you just wont listen, and do deny reality.
