Happy Mesqel! ✝️✨ Today we celebrate the profound festival of the Finding of the True Cross.
For over 200 years, a massive hill of ashes was cast over the holy tomb of our Lord in Jerusalem in an attempt to hide the miracles of healing happening there. But the truth could not stay buried. The righteous Empress Helena, guided by God, ordered the hill of Golgotha cleared, revealing the Honorable Cross to the world. ⛰️👑
Though discovered on the 10th of Megabit, we celebrate today, the 17th of Mesekerem, the day its beautiful church was consecrated.
Glory be to God, and to His Virgin Mother, and to the Glorious Cross. Amen. 🙏🕊️
