In 1872 this was blessed by Pope (Blessed) Pius IX and by the Bishop of Malta Mgr Carmelo Scicluna in 1878. On 8 September 1892 the Pia Unione was alleviated to a Third Order by a Decree of the Prior General of the Order of the Servites of Mary and with another Decree by Bishop of Malta Mgr Pietro Pace on the 27 October 1896.[7][8] No feast in her honour was included in St Pius V's 1570 Tridentine Calendar. Vatican approval for the celebra- tion of a feast in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows was first granted to the Servite order in 1667. By inserting the feast into the General Roman Calendar in 1814, Pope Pius VII extended the celebration to the whole of the Latin Church. It was assigned to the third Sunday in September. In 1913, Pope Pius X moved the feast to September 15, the day after the Feast of the Cross.[9] It is still observed on that date. Another feast, originating in Germany in the 15th cen- tury, spread to several other countries, and was extended to the whole of the Latin Church in 1727 by Pope Bene- dict XIII, who assigned it the Friday in Passion Week, one week before Good Friday.[10] In 1954, it still held the rank of major double (slightly lower than the rank of the Dieric Bouts, Netherlandish, Mater Dolorosa, 1480/1500 September feast) in the General Roman Calendar.

  • Elevation of the Crosse
    The Sunday of the Cross This morning we're celebrating the feast of the Elevation of the Cross. The correct date of the feast is tomorrow, September 14th. Normally we would have an Evening Divine Liturgy but since we cannot serve one this evening we would have had to serve the liturgy tomorrow morning. The Metropolitan has given the parishes permission to move the feast to today, therefore I chose to move it so that more could be part of the celebration. This feast day goes back to the finding of the True, Life-giving Cross by St. Helen the mother of St. Constantine the Great. In the year 326, She received permission and financing from her son go to Jerusalem in search for all the holy places where our Lord had been. One of the first things that she wanted to do was to find the True and Life-giving Cross. When she arrived in Jerusalem, she started making inquiries as to where it's location might be. Unfortunately, even the Bishop of Jerusalem did not know where the cross was. There was a Jew named Judah who had some documents which identified where Jesus had been crucified. He had inherited these documents from his father. They also showed where Jesus had been buried. He reluctantly gave these documents to St. Helen. Several weeks were spent excavating the site looking for the cross, but to know avail. One day St. Helen noticed a beautiful flower growing in a place by itself. It was what we refer to as sweet basil.

  • Feast of the Holy Cross Pg. 606 September 15, 2019
    ST. MARON MARONITE CATHOLIC CHURCH Feast of the Holy Cross pg. 606 September 15, 2019 In the Christian liturgical calendar, there are several different feasts known as Feast of the Cross, all of which com- memorate the cross used in the crucifixion of Jesus. While Good Friday is dedicated to the Passion of Christ and the Crucifixion, these days celebrate the cross itself, as the instrument of salvation. The feast commemorates the finding of the True Cross in 326 by Saint Helena, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine during a pilgrimage she made to Jerusalem. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was then built at the site of the discovery, by order of Helena and Constantine. The church was dedicated nine years later, with a portion of the cross placed inside. In 614, that portion of the cross was carried away from the church by the Persians, and remained missing until it was recaptured by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius in 628. The cross was returned to the church the following year after initially having been taken to Constantinople by Heraclius. The date used for the feast marks the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 335. This was a two-day festival: although the actual Consecration of the church was on September 13, the cross itself was brought outside the church on September 14 so that the clergy and faithful could pray before the True Cross, and all could come forward to venerate it. Spiritually, Christians honor in a special way the Cross, which God himself made and which he chose to be the altar of his redeeming sacrifice.

Scholars do not agree on which events surrounding the death of Jesus should be considered part of the "Passion narrative", and which ones merely precede and succeed the actual Passion narrative itself. When we are no longer in charge, beaten down by whatever, humiliated, suffering, and unable even to make ourselves understood by our loved ones, we are undergoing our passion and, like Jesus in his passion, have in that the opportunity to give our love and ourselves to others in a very deep way.

In 1969, the celebration was removed from the General Roman Calendar as a duplicate of the feast on 15 September Celebration of the feast in Malta, Spain, Mexico, Panama, Columbia, Peru, Guatemala and the Philippines incudes procession, public penance, mournful singing and the mortification of the flesh In Mexico and Nicaragua the faithful make small shrines of the Virgren de Dolor and decorate them with Christmas lights and perform street plays In Guatemala people make oversized flowerbeds on the road where the religious float will pass while being incensed by the crowd In the Philippines candle-lit religious floats carry a statue of
