Sophia – Wisdom of the Saints "Why do we honor the Cross with such reverence that we make mention of its power in our prayers after asking for the intercession of the Mother of God and the Heavenly Powers, before asking for that of the Saints, and sometimes even before asking for that of the Heavenly Powers? Because after the Savior's sufferings, the Cross became the sign of the Son of Man, that is, the Cross signifies the Lord Himself, incarnate and suffering for our salvation." - St. John of Kronstadt, (19th Century)
Did You Know…??? Whenever the cross is laid before us, we fully prostrate before it, giving honor to God Who was crucified upon it.
