On the Third Sunday of Great and Holy Lent, the Eastern Orthodox Church commemorates the Precious and Life-Giving Cross of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Saint Augustine teaches:
“Know this: just as the wood of the ark saved the just from drowning, so too, by the mystery of His wooden Cross, does Christ, the Church’s God and King, save us from drowning in the sea of this world. In the symbol of a thing made of wood He gave human beings a foreshadowing of both the judgment to come and the salvation of the just.”
