Exaltation of the Holy Cross - Crossroads Day.
According to legend, St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great, was considered a devout Christian.
She heads to the holy places in Palestine to look for the Holy Sepulchre, which two centuries earlier had been buried by the persecutors of the Christians.
Her efforts are crowned with success. The cave and three crosses were found. Which of the three is the cross of Christ is understood when a recently deceased person is resurrected by touching one of them.
A part of this life-giving cross was sent by Elena to her son in Constantinople, and the cross itself was placed in the main Jerusalem church.
According to an ancient custom, on this day, a water festival is held and the priests sprinkle a cross on the homes for blessing.
On this day, the oldest woman in the household bakes Krastova pita (Krastashka) - consecrated bread with a cross decoration on it.
The icon is in good condition.
