+ HOLY CROSS AT JERUSALEM III RBW - BASILICA WINDOWS SERIES 12 he entered once for all into the sanctuary, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, + BUILT UPON EARTH FROM CALVARY The Holy Cross at Jerusalem was built around the year 326 to house the relics of the passion which were brought back from Jerusalem by Emperor Constantine's mother, (Empress) Saint Helen. She also brought back earth from Calvary, the place of the crucifixion of Jesus in Jerusalem. It was spread on the grounds of her palace in Rome and the basilica was built on top of this earth which gave it its name. + Hebrews 9:11-12
+ HOW DID THEY KNOW IT WAS THE TRUE CROSS? The area where the relics were buried became a holy place of pilgrimage for the new Christians in Jerusalem. To discourage them, a temple was built over it to a pagan god which ended up as simply marking the holy spot. The Jews (New Christians) kept this information to themselves, passing it from generation to generation verbatim. When the spot was pointed out to Helen in the 4th Century, the temple was torn down. They dug into the gravel and rocky soil, finding the remains of all three crosses. The instruments of death were discarded all together according to the traditions of the day. for more information
