September 27/14 we commemorate the Universal Exaltation of the Precious and Life-Giving Cross of Christ, one of the 12 great feasts of the Orthodox church.
This feast was established by the Church in commemoration of the finding of the cross of the Lord. On this day, we hymn:
"𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒚 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔, 𝒘𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑, 𝑶 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑻𝒉𝒚 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒚 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒆 𝒈𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒚."
with prostrations (one or two Sundays a year we do)
