There is a legend that the true cross survived and was found in Jerusalem by Saint Helena in 326 AD. Because the wood was thought to have magical healing powers, pieces of the cross were taken to various churches and monasteries. The Crusaders found more pieces later and these were also divided and distributed. But it's possible that many of the pieces on display today are fakes.

What is the meaning of the Saint Andrews cross?

A:Just as tradition holds that Peter refused to be crucified in the normal way, saying that he was not worthyt to be crucified like Jesus, and therefore was granted the option of being crucified upside down, so his brother Andrew for the same reason asked to be crucified on an X-shaped cross. Neither story is likely to be true.


Where is Jesus' cross located now?

The cross has probably disintegrated by now or it was used for numerous purposes at the time. Once crosses were removed and taken down, they were used for firewood, for building, etc.As the centuries rolled on and mounds of different civilisations were built on mounds, the cross has disappeared. This is a good thing really, as the cross should not be venerated in any one. It was an instrument of torture for the many who hung on it.Occasionally we hear that that the cross of Jesus, or a piece of the cross has been found and is a closely guarded relic. However, Jesus could only die on one cross and the number of "crosses" now owned by "collectors" is all out of proportion.

Is the cross worshiped like jesusis it true adolphe-napoleon said that the cross was worshiped similar if not equal to christ himself .awake April 2006 jw?

The cross is a symbol of Jesus, just like the flag is a symbol of a country. Because nobody knows what Jesus looked like, when we look at the cross we remember how Jesus hung on the cross, paid for our sins, died, then rose again. The cross itself has no special meaning aside from what Jesus gave to it.
