What happened to the Tomb and the Cross? (& introducing Empress Helena)

[@Krentiles]

How interesting. I thought that the cross was lost to time. I knew that there were some ancient Pontius Pilatus coins. But this is on another level. God bless, and thanks for doing this.

[@Banthegreekman]

It is certainly no coincidence that you have published this video on the 14th September my friend! Happy feast of the holy cross! ☦️

[@Patristix]

You got it ;)

[@BookofAkathists]

@@Patristix we will be back in 13 days as well. ;)

[@calebevans743]

There are two pieces of the True Cross near me, I'll be seeing one tomorrow at Liturgy

[@nomikoskardoulias4543]

Amazing thank you for your videos

[@arkrou]

May the Elevation of the Holy Cross fast on the 14th of September be spiritually fulfilling for everyone!

[@amyraab8326]

St Helena pray for us ! 🙏❤️

[@BookofAkathists]

Go go go! Yes! I was so happy to know THE cross is still with us. The cross, every cross and the sign of the cross is the invincible weapon of peace that conquers all evil forever. Sooo yeah that’s kind of a big deal. :)

Interesting content!

Puedes hacer un video sobre el fuego sagrado o la luz sagrada?

My parish has a small shard of the True Cross. It's amazing. I've heard the one on Mt Athos is a bigger piece.

Well said

If I remember correctly, it was Theodosius and not Constantine that made Christianity the official language, though Constantine made it legal

[@elijahmcknight]

Wasn't it Constantine's successor (Theodosius) who made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire? I thought Constantine just made the practice of Christianity legal.

[@Patristix]

You are correct! Twas a blunder on our part

[@Noone-rt6pw]

Today we need some massive miracles as last one was the 3 Catholic Girls and somewhere else where the sun seemed to dance with many seeing. It’s my understanding these occurred in countries where there were already large numbers of faithful people!

[@sosukeaizen7028]

Australia? Dude I thought you were British this whole time.

[@Patristix]

We live in Australia, but we grew up in a few other countries including England. Hence the accents are a little unpredictable. Aussies don't tend to think I'm Australian either.

Been to the Holy Sepulchre and I’m sure the tomb wasn’t there. The park the Anglicans have has a tomb that matches the dimensions/description with a stone rolled open. Also next to Golgotha. But may not be the case. Pretty sure Ctesiphon was historically supposed to have the cross. Doubt it. I actually think the cross beam was hammered into an actual tree like an acacia on top of Golgotha/skull hill

[@brammetselaar7027]

I’ve been to Jerusalem and both supposed places the tomb was this summer. And this is the scientific consensus among scholars and archeologists about this issue. Even the archeologist of Jerusalem -at the time- (I think it’s a few years ago) admitted that the Holy Sepulcher Church is by far the best candidate to be the place the tomb. Even National Geographic did an article about this and came to the same conclusion. The fact that the tomb was outside the city walls doesn’t change anything, since the city walls of Jerusalem have been re-located.☦️

[@BookofAkathists]

Yeah check out the Nat Geo article and video. Amazing and recent stuff.

[@joshf2218]

Why would there still be a stone rolled away after 2000 years? And how can you be sure the tomb is not where the Holy Sepulchre is?

[@billybenson3834]

Golgotha was named not because it resembled a skull but it was traditionally at the time believed the place where Adam's skull was buried. The rock formation that protestants call golgotha and the garden tomb was never considered anything by the indigenous Christians. General Gordon, who fancied himself a archeologist, decided on his own while walking around Jerusalem that those were the "true" places. He based it not on any historical understanding but on a very flawed protestant but anti catholic/Orthodox viewpoint.

@@brammetselaar7027 National Geographic has a reputation of trying to disprove mainstream Christianity, the fact that National Geographic agrees with the Holy Spulchure being the Tomb of Christ is testament to is authenticity.
