The tradition of the Veneration of the Cross dates back to the fourth-century. On Good Friday, the Christians in Jerusalem would gather before a relic of the true cross to kneel, bow, and kiss the cross in remembrance of the Passion of Christ. Today, most churches venerate the cross during their Good Friday services. This moving practice inspires great prayer and meditation.
This year, due to the Coronavirus, our Easter triduum Masses and services are "virtual" - livestreamed, including the veneration of the cross on Good Friday. So what do we do instead?
