Monday Sep 14th
Commemorations:
- Exaltation of the Holy Cross. By tradition, strict abstinence from meat or dairy products. All Divine Liturgies and other services celebrated in red vestments.
- Exaltation of the Holy and Life-Giving Cross. Discovery of the Holy Cross on which Our Lord suffered together with the nails, is credited to Empress Helen, mother of Constantine the Great. The finding was made in Jerusalem A.D. 326. In the Church of Jerusalem, erected by St. Helen over the Sepulchre of Our Lord, the Patriarch St. Macarius, elevated the Cross and all the people beholding it cried out, "Lord, have mercy!"
