Текст песни Авторская передача Сергея Худиева - Воздвижение Креста Господня

The apostles, the holy Fathers, and after them the whole liturgical tradition of the Church glorify the Cross in the most sublime expressions.
 We have become accustomed to hear it - but in the days of the apostles, and even during the time of the fathers sounded the call. Cross was not associated with something glorious and victorious. Quite the contrary. The cross was a symbol of disgust and horror.
