The Rite of Venerating the Cross

On this Sunday a solemn rite of veneration of the holyCross is carried out during the Matins service in thefollowing manner: After the Vespers service the beautifullydecorated Cross is carried from the sacristy and placed onthe altar. On the following day, during Matins service at theGreat Doxology, the priest takes the Cross from the altar, places it upon his head and goes out to the middle of thechurch and there places it on the tetrapod. The troparionSave your people, is then sung. After this they singthree times: We adore Your Cross and each time aprostration is made. While the sticheras of the feast are beingsung, the faithful come forward and devoutly kiss the holyCross.

While the faithful are venerating the Cross, the following(Continued on page 2)

Veneration of theHoly Cross


2/7

Have you considered purchasing a necessity of thecathedral as a gift for that one person who haseverything? A gift in their honor because they hold a

special place in your heart or maybe a gift inremembrance of someone who has Fallen Asleep inthe Lord. It would be a lasting tribute to that specialindividual.This year we are hoping to purchase eight newPhelons, Stichera and Dalmatics for our candle bearers as many the ones we have are frayingbeyond repair.Our cathedral is also lacking a complete set of FestalIcons which are used on Feastdays and are placedupon the Tetrapod. You could also purchase one of

these in honor of or in memory of that onespecial person or persons.For more information about these or other items, please contact the rectory office Monday throughFriday at 773-276-4537 or stop in the office in thecathedral basement on Sundays.

stichera is sung: Come, all you faithful, let us adore the life-giving tree, upon which Christ the King of glory willinglystretched out His arms and raising us up, restored us to thatoriginal happiness, the enemy stole from us in the past,seducing us by vain pleasures so that we became estrangedfrom God. Come, all you faithful, let us bow down beforethe tree, through which we have become worthy to crush theheads of invisible enemies. Come, all you nations, let us

extol the Cross of the Lord with hymns of praise: Rejoice, OCross, perfect salvation of fallen Adam. Our most faithfulkings glory in you, for by your power they overcame theirenemies. Today we Christians with awe kiss you, we glorifythe crucified God upon you and say, O Lord, crucified onthe Cross, have mercy on us, for you are good and you lovemankind.

Instead of the Trisagion Hymn, at the Divine Liturgy onthis day, we sing, We adore your cross, O lord Thishymn in honor of the holy Cross we sing as we bow beforethe Cross and devoutly kiss it, at the conclusion of eachchurch service throughout the whole week until Friday.

The Sunday of the Veneration of the Holy Cross, indeed,teaches us to understand the great significance the HolyCross has for us, not only during the Lent, but alsothroughout our whole life. This Sunday tells us thatwherever we find the Cross, there will we find strength,victory, salvation and the pledge of resurrection to eternallife of bliss.

To arouse ourselves to a greater veneration and love forthe holy Cross, let us frequently call to mind those profoundthoughts expressed by the great venerator of the holy Cross,St. Ephrem the Syrian (+373) in the following hymn:

The Cross is the resurrection of the dead.

The Cross is the hope of Christians.The Cross is the staff of the lame.

The Cross is the consolation of the poor.The Cross is the dethronement of the proud.

The Cross is the hope of the hopeless.The Cross is the helm of those who sail.

The Cross is the harbor of the storm-tossed.The Cross is the father of orphans.

The Cross is the comfort of the afflicted.The Cross is the protector of youth.

The Cross is the glory of men.The Cross is the crown of the aged.The Cross is the purity of virgins.

The Cross is the bread of the hungry and theFountain of the thirsty.

Therefore, let us make the sign of this Life-GivingCross on our forehead, lips and breastLet us now leave theCross even for one hour, even for one moment, and let usnot do anything without it, but whether we are going tosleep, or getting up; whether we are eating or drinking,whether we are traveling on land, sailing the sea, or crossingrivers, we should adorn all the members of our body with thesign of the Life-Giving Cross.
