Troparion of the Holy Cross, Eastern Catholic Churches,
O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance. Grant victories to Right-Believing Christians over their adversaries; and by the virtue of Thy Cross, preserve Thy habitation.(Slightly different translation)
The Collect of the Feast,
O God, Who dost this day gladden us by the yearly Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, grant, we beseech thee, that even as we have understood the mystery thereof upon earth, so we may worthily enjoy in heaven the fruits of the redemption which was paid thereon.Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.Pange lingua gloriosi, the Hymn at Matins.
A Crusader's Cross.
'Crusader Piglet' has taken the Cross! This was my avatar on FishEaters Forum an I now use it on FishEaters Discord.
Oops, the lyrics to "Onward" have been made Protestant PC!

DeleteDarn! I've replaced it with the original, 'unPC' lyrics, recorded in 1953 by a faithful Catholic, knighted by Pope Pius XII as a Knight Commander of the Equestrian Order of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in 1952, at the same investiture ceremony that the Venerable Fulton Sheen received the Order.
