Greetings all,
Today we commemorate with joy the Emperor Heraclius'
triumphant return to Constantinople on September 14th in 629 AD after
his victory over the Persian Empire:
He had recovered the True Cross and it remained on display in
Constantinople for two years before being returned to Jerusalem. Pieces
of it are kept there in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher to this day.
Let all take joy in the memory of this important historical event, which gave new heart to the Byzantine Empire! :)
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
