The Feast is best described in the Greek Horologion as follows: "Because of the illnesses that occur in August, it was customary, in former times, to carry the Venerable Wood of the Cross through the streets and squares of Constantinople for the sanctification of the city, and for relief from sickness.
On the eve (July 31), it was taken out of the imperial treasury, and laid upon the altar of the Great Church of Hagia Sophia (meaning the Wisdom of God).
He explained the origin of the Feast as described in the Horologion above and stated that "suffering in the world makes no sense unless it is understood from the perspective of the suffering of Jesus on the Cross." Father David also said that "God suffers with us when His people are suffering in this world."
