Third Sunday of Great Lent: The Veneration of The Holy Cross
On this Sunday we venerate the Life-giving Cross of Christ. Like the shade of a strong, leafy tree offers refreshment and strength to the weary traveler, midway through Great Lent we are refreshed and fortified under the Life-giving Cross, and empowered to continue our Lenten journey with renewed strength.
