Exaltation of the Holy Cross

The feast for the Latin rite was yesterday. (The Byzantine-rite Orthodox feast day is also on September 14.) Apparently the Latin feast commemorates the recovery of that part of the Holy Cross that had been in Jerusalem but was stolen by the Persians, while the Byzantine feast commemorates the discovery of the Holy Cross by St. Helen.
