The feast of the Exaltation of the Cross is in honor of the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Observed on September 14, it is also known as 'Holy Cross Day' and on this day we can piously meditate on Our Lord Passion and His love for us. Therefore the most of the movie depicts the stages of Christ Passion and the last clips of the Passion sequence let us see Christ alone on the Cross and what He saw from the Cross. The several next clips show emperor Constantine and his mother St Helen. Tradition narrates the story of Helen, who went to Jerusalem to look for the Cross. On her way to Jerusalem, she left one of her servants on a mountain. Once the cross was discovered, she ordered her men to light a fire on top of a nearby mountain. Having seen the fire, the servant staying on the next mountain lit another fire, and in this manner the news of the discovery of the Holy Cross reached the capital,Constantinople.The movie concludes with the pictures of the Cross relics from Santa Croce in Gerusalemme Basilica in Rome and that of Pope Pius Vth adoring the Cross.
Thank you and God bless you too!
