The Roman Catholic tradition locates the discovery of the True Cross within the hallowed confines of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, a site that has drawn the faithful for nearly two millennia. The intertwining of pilgrim testimony and ecclesiastical tradition has enshrined this location as a focal point for the veneration of Christ’s Passion. With its enduring place in Catholic liturgy and the testimony of centuries of pilgrims and chroniclers, the site where the True Cross was discovered remains, in Roman Catholic eyes, one of the holiest places on earth.
