Therefore, in Christianity, the cross is considered a symbol of suffering and those life trials that fall to the lot of a person.

The Gospel does not contain a detailed description of this cross, but in the Greek and Old Slavic angiographic literature it is described in sufficient detail. It is believed that the Life-giving Cross was made of three types of wood: the pillar was made of cypress, the crossbar was made of pine, and the foot was made of cedar, which is why it is sometimes called a three-piece cross.

There is another legend that tells that the cross on which Jesus was crucified was found by Queen Helena (she is the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great). She made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where, at her request, excavations were carried out.

Thanks to these surveys, a cross was found, four nails (for the arms and legs of the crucified) and a title with four letters INRI (this abbreviation in Latin letters explains that he was crucified on the pillar Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews).

There are many well-known facts that reveal the miraculous power of the Cross. Back in 326, Tsar Constantine, who faithfully fought for the revival of Christianity, wished to erect temples on the earth where Jesus was born, lived and died.

He also wanted to find the structure on which the Great One was crucified. In this noble cause he was helped by his mother - Queen Elena. After an unbearable search, she met with the weak Jew Judas, who told about the place where the Cross was.

So in a deep cave on which a pagan temple stood, three crosses were discovered. But which of them caused the terrible torment of the Son of God, no one knew. And suddenly the Savior himself gave the answer to this question, pointing to the healing effect of the structure. In order to recognize the real Cross, the following was done:

• he was brought to a seriously ill woman - and the disease instantly left her forever;
• entrusted to the deceased - and after touching him the deceased revived.

After that, Queen Elena brought one part of the Cross to her son, and left the other in Jerusalem. Since then, speaking sincere in prayer, sincere words: "May God rise, and scatter against Him ...", a person receives powerful heavenly protection from any misfortunes. After all, the great divine power of Jesus remained on the Cross forever, that he accepted suffering and death on it for the entire human race.

Between death and resurrection

Prayer to the Life-giving Cross reminds of the story of the resurrection of God, or rather, of his life between crucifixion and resurrection. As you know, Christ descended into hell, destroying the universal power of sin, and saved the righteous who were imprisoned there. Indeed, before this event, even worthy people went to hell, but not to its most terrible level. At the same time, the power of the devil was inflicted. The text of the prayer reminds of this.

Don't play with hellfire

After the incident, the Cross itself became a gift to a person to defeat him. By the way, if you suddenly see a UFO, read the prayer to the Honest Cross. UFOs do not exist in distant galaxies, but together with us, appear from the subtle world, from its dark side. It's just that now demons disguise themselves as aliens, but they are afraid of prayers, holy water and priests for an obvious reason. But you should not play these games yourself, read newspapers and books, watch films about UFOs. Don't call demons into your life.

The life of every person is rich in events, both joyful and sad. Prayer to the Honorable Cross of the Lord can help in the most hopeless cases. For many centuries, Orthodox believers have resorted to it, seeking to protect themselves and their loved ones from adversity and temptation.

The meaning and power of prayer

This prayer is difficult, sometimes even scary story... The Life-giving Cross, to which we turn, is the very one on which the Savior accepted death. In the Orthodox tradition, they ask him to protect him from the evil eye, damage, diseases, dangers and other troubles.

There is a legend that in the 4th century Tsar Constantine decided to erect a temple on the land of Christ, finding the cross on which he was crucified. But none of the living could indicate his exact location. And after a long search, the king finally found an old Jew, who was able to point the right place. But in the cave indicated by him, 3 crosses were found at once, and which of them caused the torment of Jesus, it was unknown. And then the Savior himself suggested how to find the necessary structure: he was brought to the patient, and he was healed.

Since then, Christians believe that a particle of the great divine power of Jesus remained in the Cross forever, therefore, sincerely speaking the words of prayer, we receive powerful protection and assistance from heaven. The main secret is to pray sincerely and fervently, offering words to the Lord with a pure soul.

Prayer to the Life-giving Cross is not only eternal gratitude and recognition to the Lord for his mercy, it reflects the true meaning human lifehealing the physical body and pacifying mental suffering. She, as the greatest grace, revives the faith given to humanity.
