Good Friday - Roman Station

Good Friday we revisit the Roman Station is Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme (Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem) again (we were here almost two weeks ago, Sunday).

I was incorrect yesterday saying we were only visiting Papal Bascilicas during these Holy days, this is the exception, but it's fitting as you may recall the foundation is packed with soil from the Holy Land.

I'll keep this short and show Chapel of the Passion Relics and some relics.

Chapel of the Passion Relics, opened in 1930.

The Passion Relics are held in a glass case at the back of the chapel.

The Relics are:
• Splinters of the True Cross
• Fragments from the Pillar of the Scourging
• The finger that St Thomas placed in Christ's side.
• On the left side is a part of the good thief's cross.

On the left is the Reliquary of the Nail, on the right a piece of the Titulus Crucis.

It cannot stop assaulting what currently exists and therefore on,y ends when all is destroyed.  It is a continuous rebellion; not so coincidently the cause of the fall of Lucifer and 1/3 of the angels. A form of it is called Communism as that is a continual effort to overthrow the ruling class by the underclass, but that creates a new ruling class to be overthrown as the large underclass always remains, “For the poor you have always with you…” (Matthew 26:11).   Orthodoxy, as with all good words, can be defined by it’s entomology or origins. “Ortho” = “true” or “straight”.
