The Feast of the Cross. This day commemorates when Empress Helena discovered the Cross in 326 AD. Palestinian Christians light up crosses above their houses all week long. To celebrate this day, they, like other Christians in the East, make fire pits on hills and peaks, with a cross in sight.

This tradition is still honored in the East by both Catholics and Orthodox Christians. ◾Follow: Source: Fearless John - @European_dissident
