Icon of Jesus on the cross, surrounded by disciples.

"Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ was lifted high upon the cross that he might draw the whole world to himself: Mercifully grant that we, who glory in the mystery of our redemption, may have grace to take up our cross & follow him."

~ BCP, p. 244 #HolyCrossDay

If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

We adore you, O Christ,
and we bless you;
because by your cross
you have redeemed the world.

#HolyCrossDay

Faithful cross, true sign of triumph,
Be for all the noblest tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit Thine equal be.
Symbol of the world’s redemption
For the weight that hung on thee.

Lutheran Service Book Hymn 454, v. 4

#HolyCrossDay

True Christianity is worshipping a brown young man strung up in public by an oppressive paranoid empire, then crushing it underfoot by bursting from the tomb. The 'Christianity' spouted by too many in London yesterday was cultish, idolatrous heresy. #HolyCrossDay #cofepeeps #FascistsOut

✝️ Today we lift high the cross — a symbol of victory, love, and redemption.

On #HolyCrossDay, we remember that through Christ’s suffering came our salvation, and through His death, new life was born.

The Cross is the sign of salvation, God’s hope breaking through into human tragedy. It is death defeated and the resurrection revealed. It is the sign of reconciliation that overcomes all barriers of race, nation & culture. #HolyCrossDay Parish Mass @colindalechurch.bsky.social All welcome!

On the cross, the kaleidoscopic Unity of humankind is openly displayed in the Person of Jesus Christ.

Today seems like a good day to share a photo of an icon I bought in Sofia last January. It’s Constantine and Helena. #HolyCrossDay
