St. Gregorios Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church
Oak Park, Illinois
Feast of the Cross (September 14)
The Elevation of the Holy Cross is one of the great feasts of the Orthodox
Church, celebrated on September 14. This feast is also
referred to as the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. This feast commemorates
the finding of the Cross by Empress Helen, mother of
Constantine the Great on Golgotha in 326 A.D., the place where
Christ was crucified. The cross gives life to each person who believes
in the redemptive sacrifice on the cross and His glorious
resurrection. On this day, we renew our dedication to the crucified
and resurrected Lord.
