Where is that cross now?
There are many stories about the cross on which Jesus Christ was hanged. However, the most popular story is that Helena, the mother of Roman emperor Constantine, discovered this cross. It is said that when Jesus Christ was crucified, after his death, the Roman soldiers threw the cross in a deep ditch and covered it with stones and soil to prevent his followers from finding it. About 300 years later, on Helena's orders, the place was excavated, from where three crosses were found, but the question was which of the three was the 'true cross'? To find this out, Helena gave all the three crosses to a sick woman one by one to touch. The cross by touching which the woman got cured was considered the true cross. One part of this cross was taken to Rome and the other remained in Jerusalem.
