In Latin it is called Exaltatio Sanctae Crucis (literally, "Raising Aloft of the Holy Cross". (The word "Exaltatio" is sometimes translated as "Exaltation", at other times, as in the 1973 ICEL translation, as "Triumph".) In some parts of the Anglican Communion the feast is called Holy Cross Day, a name also used by Lutherans. The celebration is sometimes called Feast of the Glorious Cross.[1]<br>According to legends that spread widely throughout Western Europe, the True Cross was discovered in 326 by Saint Helena, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, during a pilgrimage she made to Jerusalem. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was then built at the site of the discovery, by order of Helena and Constantine. The church was dedicated nine years later, with a portion of the cross[2] placed inside it. Other legends explain that in 614, that portion of the cross was carried away from the church by the Persians, and remained missing until it was recaptured by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius in 628. Initially taken to Constantinople, the cross was returned to the church the following year. 9:45a Bible Study Drag Bible Study\|9:45AM\|Wednesday morning Bible study is active at 9:45 for prayer and 10:00 for study/discussion 5:30p Choir Rehearsal Drag Choir Rehearsal\|5:30PM\|@ Choir Room\|Our regular Wednesday evening rehearsals are at 5:30 pm in the choir room.

Matthew was originally a tax-gatherer, in the service of the Romans who became one of the twelve Apostles and the author of the first Gospel. He was the son of Alphaeus born at Capernaum, a settlement on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, about a year after the birth of Jesus. Matthew was employed as a tax collector from which he gained knowledge of languages such as Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew. The Roman system for collecting taxes lent itself to fraud and corruption. Wealthy people would 'bid' on the right to collect taxes in their region and anything they collected over the Roman's demands was kept as profit. Tax Collectors were considered "unclean" because they had unacceptable forms of contact with gentile people (the Romans). They were also commonly regarded to be thieves because they were often fraudulent charging extortionist amounts due to the tax collection system. Matthew 9:9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. Matthew became a disciple of Jesus spreading Christianity after the crucifixion of Jesus. At the time of the persecution of Herod Agrippa I in 42 AD, Matthew left the country and travelled to Cypress and North Africa. He was put to death at Naddabar in Ethiopia with a halberd (a pike fitted with an axe head). The year of his death year is unknown. 9:45a Bible Study Drag Bible Study\|9:45AM\|Wednesday morning Bible study is active at 9:45 for prayer and 10:00 for study/discussion 5:30p Choir Rehearsal Drag Choir Rehearsal\|5:30PM\|@ Choir Room\|Our regular Wednesday evening rehearsals are at 5:30 pm in the choir room.
