OTHERS RELIQUARIESTrue CrossFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia(Redirected fromTrue cross)Christ crucified, painted byGiotto, circa 1310.
TheTrue Crossis the name for physical remnants which, by aCatholictradition, are believed to be from the cross upon whichJesus was crucified.[1]
According to post-Nicenehistorians such asSocrates Scholasticus, the EmpressHelena, mother ofConstantine, the firstChristianEmperor of Rome, travelled to theHoly Landin 326–28, founding churches and establishing relief agencies for the poor. HistoriansGelasius of CaesareaandRufinusclaimed that she discovered the hiding place of three crosses that were believed to be used at the crucifixion of Jesus and of two thieves,St. DismasandGestas, executed with him, and that amiraclerevealed which of the three was the True Cross.
Many churches possess fragmentary remains that are by tradition alleged to be those of the True Cross. Their authenticity is not accepted universally by those of the Christian faith and the accuracy of the reports surrounding the discovery of the True Cross is questioned by some Christians.[2]The acceptance and belief of that part of the tradition that pertains to theEarly Christian Churchis generally restricted to theCatholicandOrthodox Churches. The medieval legends that developed concerning its provenance differ between Catholic and Orthodox tradition. These churches honour Helena as a saint, as does also theAnglican Communion.[not verified in body]
Provenance of the True Cross[edit]In the Latin-speaking traditions of Western Europe, the story of the pre-Christian origins of the True Cross was well established by the 13th century when, in 1260, it was recorded, byJacopo de Voragine,Bishop of Genoa, in theGolden Legend.[3]
The Golden Legendcontains several versions of the origin of the True Cross. InThe Life of Adam, Voragine writes that the True Cross came from three trees which grew from three seeds from the \"Tree of Mercy\" whichSethcollected and planted in the mouth ofAdam\'s corpse.[4]In another account contained inOf the invention of the Holy Cross, and first of this word invention, Voragine writes that the True Cross came from a tree that grew from part of theTree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, or \"the tree that Adam ate of\", thatSethplanted on Adam\'s grave where it \"endured there unto the time of Solomon\".[5]
After many centuries, the tree was cut down and the wood used to build a bridge over which theQueen of Shebapassed, on her journey to meetKing Solomon. So struck was she by the portent contained in the timber of the bridge that she fell on her knees and revered it. On her visit to Solomon, she told him that a piece of wood from the bridge would bring about the replacement of God\'s Covenant with the Jewish people, by a new order. Solomon, fearing the eventual destruction of his people, had the timber buried. But after fourteen generations, the wood taken from the bridge was fashioned into the Cross used tocrucifyChrist. Voragine then goes on to describe its finding by Helena, mother of the Emperor Constantine.[6]
Acceptance of this tradition[edit]The Golden Legendand many of its sources developed after theEast-West Schismof 1054,[citation needed]and thus is unknown in the Greek- or Syriac-speaking worlds. The above pre-Crucifixion history, therefore, is not to be found inEastern Christianity.[citation needed]
According to thesacred traditionof theEastern Orthodox Churchthe True Cross was made from three different types of wood:cedar,pineandcypress.[7]This is an allusion toIsaiah 60:13: \"The glory ofLebanonshall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box [cypress] together to beautify the place of my sanctuary, and I will make the place of my feet glorious.\" The link between this verse and the Crucifixion lies in the words, \"the place of my feet\", which is interpreted as referring to thesuppendaneum(foot rest) on which Jesus\' feet were nailed (seeOrthodox cross).
There is a tradition that the three trees from which the True Cross was constructed grew together in one spot. A traditional OrthodoxicondepictsLot, the nephew ofAbraham, watering the trees.[7]According to tradition, these trees were used to construct theTemple in Jerusalem(\"to beautify the place of my sanctuary\"). Later, duringHerod\'sreconstruction of the Temple, the wood from these trees was removed from the Temple and discarded, eventually being used to construct the cross on which Jesus was crucified (\"and I will make the place of my feet glorious\").
Finding the True Cross[edit]Eusebius of Caesarea, in hisLife of Constantine,[8]describes how the site of theHoly Sepulchre, originally a site of veneration for the Christian community inJerusalem, had been covered with earth and atempleofVenushad been built on top. Although Eusebius does not say as much, this would probably have been done as part ofHadrian\'s reconstruction of Jerusalem asAelia Capitolinain 135, following the destruction during theJewish Revoltof 70 andBar Kokhba\'s revoltof 132–135. Following his conversion to Christianity, EmperorConstantineordered in about 325–326 that the site be uncovered and instructed SaintMacarius, Bishop of Jerusalem, to build a church on the site. In hisLife of Constantine, Eusebius does not mention the finding of the True Cross.
According to Socrates Scholasticus[edit]Sozomen(died c. 450), in hisEcclesiastical History, gives essentially the same version as Socrates. He also adds that it was said (by whom he does not say) that the location of the Sepulchre was \"disclosed by a Hebrew who dwelt in the East, and who derived his information from some documents which had come to him by paternal inheritance\" (although Sozomen himself disputes this account) and that a dead person was also revived by the touch of the Cross. Later popular versions of this story state that the Jew who assisted Helena was named Jude or Judas, but later converted to Christianity and took the nameKyriakos.
According to Theodoret[edit]Another popular ancient version from theSyriactradition replaced Helena with a fictitious first-century empress named Protonike.
Scholarly opinion[edit]After Empress Helena[edit]In 614 theSassanidEmperorKhosrau II(\"Chosroes\") removed the part of the cross held in Jerusalem as a trophy, when hecaptured the city. Thirteen years later, in 628, theByzantineEmperorHeracliusdefeated Khosrau and regained the relic fromShahrbaraz. He placed the cross in Constantinople at first, and took it back to Jerusalem on 21 March 630.[11]Some scholars disagree with this narrative, ProfessorConstantin Zuckermangoing as far as to suggest that the True Cross was actually lost by the Persians, and that the wood contained in the allegedly still sealed reliquary brought to Jerusalem by Heraclius in 629 was a fake. In his analysis, the hoax was designed to serve the political purposes of both Heraclius and his former foe, recently turned ally and co-father-in-law, Persian general and soon-to-become king, Shahrbaraz.[12]
Fatimids, crusaders and loss of the Cross[edit]Currently the Greek Orthodox present a small True Cross relic shown in the so-called Greek Treasury at the foot of Golgotha, within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.[17]

The order was founded by SaintBruno of Colognein 1084 and includes bothmonksandnuns. The order has its own Rule, called theStatutes, rather than theRule of Saint Benedict, and style=\"font-size: 0.875em; margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: inherit;\">The nameCarthusianis derived from theChartreuse Mountains; Saint Bruno built his first hermitage in the valley of these mountains in theFrench Alps. The wordcharterhouse, which is the English name for a Carthusianmonastery, is derived from the same source.[1]The same mountain range lends its name to the alcoholiccordialChartreuseproduced by the monks since 1737 which itself gives rise to the name of thecolour. The motto of the Carthusians isStat crux dum volvitur orbis, Latin for \"TheCrossis steady while the world is turning.\"
History[edit]There were twelve Carthusian monasteries in the British Isles before the Reformation. The first was founded byHenry IIin 1181 atWitham Friary,Somersetas penance for the murder ofSt Thomas Becket.Hugh of Lincolnwas its first prior.[3]The third Charterhouse built in Britain wasBeauvale Charterhouseremains of which can still be seen style=\"font-size: 0.875em; margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: inherit;\">The Carthusians, as with all Catholic religious orders, were variously persecuted and banned during theProtestant Reformation. The abolition of their priories, which were sources of charity in England, particularly reduced their numbers.[4]This was followed by theFrench Revolutionwhich had a similar effect in France.[5]
A few fragments remain of the Charterhouse inCoventry, mostly dating from the 15th century, and consisting of a sandstone building that was probably the prior\'s house. The area, about a mile from the centre of the city, is a conservation area, but the buildings are in use as part of a local college. Inside the building is a medieval wall painting, alongside many carvings and wooden beams. Nearby is the river Sherbourne that runs underneath the centre of the city.
The best preserved remains of amedievalCharterhouse in the UK are atMount Grace PriorynearOsmotherley, North Yorkshire. One of the cells has been reconstructed to illustrate how different the lay-out is to monasteries of most other Christian orders, which are normally designed with communal living in mind.
TheLondon Charterhousegave its name toa squareand several streets in theCity of London, as well as to theCharterhouse Schoolwhich used part of its site before moving out toGodalming,Surrey.
Perth Charterhouse, the single Carthusian Priory founded inScotlandduring theMiddle Ages, was located inPerth. It stood just west of the medieval town and was founded byJames I(1406–1437) in the early 15th century. James I and his queenJoan Beaufort(died 1445) were both buried in the priory church, as was QueenMargaret Tudor(died 1541), widow ofJames IV of Scotland. The Priory, said to have been a building of \'wondrous cost and greatness\' was sacked during theScottish Protestant Revolutionin 1559, and swiftly fell into decay. No remains survive above ground, though a Victorian monument marks the site. The Perth names Charterhouse Lane and Pomarium Flats (built on the site of the Priory\'s orchard) recall its existence.
St. Hugh\'s Charterhouse, Parkminster, West Sussex has cells running around a square cloister approximately 400 m (one quarter-mile) on a side, making it the largest cloister in Europe. It was built to accommodate two communities which were expelled from the continent.[6]
Character[edit]This sectionneeds additional citations forverification.Please helpedit]There always have been brothers in the charterhouse. When Saint Bruno retired to the Chatreuse, two of his companions were secular ones: Andrew and Guerin. Thelay brothersare monks under slightly different types of vows who spend less time in contemplative prayer and more time in manual labour; they live a slightly more communal life, sharing a common area of the charterhouse. The lay brothers provide material assistance to the choir monks: cooking meals, doing laundry, undertaking physical repairs, providing the choir monks with books from the library and managing supplies.
During the brothers\' seven-year formation period, some time is given each day to the study of the Bible, Theology, Liturgy, and Spirituality. They can continue their studies throughout their lives. All of the monks live lives of silence. For the most part, the number of brothers in the Order has remained the same for centuries, as it is now: seven or eight brothers for every ten fathers.[8]
The Carthusians do not engage in work of a pastoral or missionary nature. Unlike most monasteries, they do not have retreatants, and those who visit for a prolonged period are people who are contemplating entering the monastery.[7]As far as possible, the monks have no contact with the outside world.
Carthusian nuns live a life similar to the monks, but with some differences. Choir nuns tend to lead somewhat lesseremiticallives, while still maintaining a strong commitment to solitude and silence.
Modern Carthusians[edit]Painting from the Carthusian cloister ofNuestra Señora de las CuevasinSevillebyFrancisco de Zurbarán. The scene depictsHugh of Grenoblein a Carthusian monastery.Before theCouncil of Trentin the 16th century, the Catholic Church in Western Europe had a wide variety of rituals for the celebration of Mass. Although the essentials were the same, there were variations in prayers and practices from region to region or among the variousreligious orders.
WhenPope Pius Vmade theRoman Missalmandatory for all Catholics of the Latin Rite, he permitted the continuance of other forms of celebrating Mass that had an antiquity of at least two centuries. The rite used by the Carthusians was one of these, and still continues in use in a version revised in 1981. Apart from the new elements in this revision, it is substantially the rite of Grenoble in the 12th century, with some admixture from other sources.[5]According to current Catholic legislation, priests can celebrate the traditional rites of their order without further authorization.
A feature unique to Carthusian liturgical practice is that the bishop bestows on Carthusian nuns, in the ceremony of their profession, a stole and a maniple. This is interpreted by some as a relic of the former rite of ordination of women deacons.[9]The nun is also invested with a crown and a ring. The nun wears these ornaments again only on the day of her monastic jubilee and on her bier after her death. At Matins, if no priest or deacon is present, a nun assumes the stole and reads the Gospel; and although in the time of theTridentine Massthe chanting of the Epistle was reserved to an ordained subdeacon, a consecrated nun sang the Epistle at the conventual Mass, though without wearing the maniple. For centuries Carthusian nuns retained this rite, administered by the diocesan bishop four years after the nun took her vows.[5]It is no longer unique, since the liturgical reforms that followedSecond Vatican Councilmade the rite of theconsecration of virginsmore widely available.
Stages of the Carthusian\'s life[edit]In 1075, Bruno was appointed chancellor of theDiocese of Reims, which involved him in the daily administration of the diocese. Meanwhile, the pious BishopGervais de Château-du-Loir, a friend to Bruno, had been succeeded byManasses de Gournai, a violent aristocrat with no real vocation for the Church. In 1077, at the urging of Bruno and the clergy at Reims, de Gournai was suspended at a council atAutun. He responded, in typical eleventh century fashion, by having his retainers pull down the houses of his accusers.[4]He confiscated their goods, sold their benefices, and even appealed to the pope. Bruno discreetly avoided the cathedral city until in 1080 a definite sentence, confirmed by popular riot, compelled Manasses to withdraw[3]and take refuge withEmperor Henry IV, the fierce opponent of the Pope,Gregory VII.
