St. Edith (also Editha, Eadgyth, Eadgith) was one of the most venerated female saints of England.
The special service at the end of the All-night vigil or the rite of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was established in Jerusalem shortly after the Finding of the Cross.
Archimandrite Sergius (Bowyer)
What the Cross offers us is an image and icon of what God’s life is like, what His love is like, and ultimately what He calls us to. This life of God for man is a cross, which ultimately leads us to our resurrection—not only personally, but corporately on the last day.
Fr. Robert Miclean
We hear in today’s Gospel for the Sunday before the Exaltation of the Cross—the major feast coming this Tuedsay—the Good News that God loves us to such a tremendous extent that He sent Himself, His Logos, His Son, into the world to enter into human nature to redeem it, make it new again, fit for life with Him who is Life. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
