The Friday of Holy Week commemorates the death and crucifixion of Christ and the cross at Calvary and processions is revered by Christians, and is the main character. But the Catholic Church not only on this day, but some more during the year, is still venerated, or memorial. One of them is the May 3, the day is remembered and celebrated the Invention ( invenire - find) of the True (vera) Cruz, fiesta popularly known as the Vera Cruz.
Their discovery is attributed to the Empress Helena, then holy mother of the first Christian emperor Constantine, around the year 326, just on Mount Calvary, in the same place where Christ was buried. According to legend he went to Palestine and also to build churches, excavated in the same place, it found the three crosses, in addition to the crown and nails. To know which was which ( vera ) speaks of miracles in situ and other wonders that served to magnify the discovery and belief in the fact.
Since then St. Helena is represented clad empress, with a large cross and sometimes with a crown of thorns and nails of the Crucifixion in his hands.




This festival is one of the most solemn and ancient church year, as the seventh century and begin to appear abundant relics of the Cross of Christ by different parts of Spain and the world. But, note that to avoid the degeneration of this fact, of the four parts or cross beams, one was brought to Rome, another to Constantinople, another was in Jerusalem and the latter became splinters were scattered worldwide and found in temples and shrines.




already popular on the conclusion of this celebration of the Cruz de Mayo is less data. The first evidence dates back to the eighteenth century, reaching its apogee in the nineteenth century, to decay century XX. It so happens that the Pope John XXIII, in 1959, abolished the party to make the liturgical reform. At present, and to the roots of this tradition around the Cross, the Church will rejoin the Liturgy.




And is that Christian devotion to the Vera Cruz , embodied more in the Cristo de la Vera Cruz, continues to be held in many places. Also in the province of Zamora and in this region. There are shrines in many villages with some of these titles: de la Vera Cruz de Benavente Cubo, as Christ of Vera Cruz are known to SITRAME Tera, Morales del Rey, bruising and Rosinos of Vidriales. Holy shrines in the Christ's call to the Coombe and La Torre del Valle, and Santa Cruz in the saddle Matilla. In almost all these villages, on May 3, or days before or after him, novenas are held, ending with a procession and Mass in the church or chapel in question.




In other places, at this time and this month, also held celebrations of Christ, associated with the Cross, but do not have chapels. This is true in Santa Cristina de la Polvorosa with Torbero the Christ, the highlight of the year as long since there is a fraternity that organizes it, and that in addition to Mass and solemn procession sing her a bouquet, decorated with plenty of donuts after auction.
I found that one of the towns more and celebrate what is best for Vidriales bruising. Here, although the events begin on May 3 in which the Christ up in procession to the church to pray the novena, the main festival is the 12th, bottom of the ninth. And as a holiday should be added also the day 25, lowered it back to the shrine, albeit with less solemnity.
The Bruises are a chapel of simple and small, but important for the old images (XVI century), of Christ and the Virgin and San Juan that are next on the small altar. This Christ is the third day lead to the church in an emotional procession. At the head is the cross and beside the butler with the rod of the Confraternity of the Vera Cruz, which has existed for many years. Follow the Christ surrounded by men born and then the Virgen del Rosario, who came to accompany him, and which is carried by women. During the journey the priest intone chants and prayers in which all attendees. Matilla Arzon
In the hermitage of Santa Cruz makes it to this day to celebrate. It celebrated the Mass and then go in procession to the church where they will receive the final blessing. You will then meet the heads of the guild to name the offices of abbot Butler, a lobbyist and secretary of next year. This strict order of seniority.



Matilla
The chapel is located on the outskirts of the village and outside of it all the credit he could have his old house is canceled, or at least underestimated, the two water tanks have been built at his side. Inside a neoclassical altarpiece and images of Christ, Ecce Homo and bound to the column, of undoubted artistic value.
In Coombe de la Vega, Morales del Rey, Tera SITRAME Torre del Valle and the feasts of Christ and the Cross are held on another date, but within this May. The same happens in Rosinos of Vidriales, whose shrine only plays a role during Holy Week, particularly on Thursday and Good Friday.




In Cubo de Benavente, the chapel shrine of Vera Cruz has played its role in the past. Now open on this day for Mass and rarely more throughout the year. But it is worth a visit for the outside and especially inside the same, namely its altar decorated with paintings and reliefs with scenes of passion
There was also a chapel-shrine of Vera Cruz in Villaveza Valverde, located within the village. It worshiped the Crucified. But in 1950, was demolished and built which currently exists in the same place, which is dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament.




The Catholic Church celebrates another festival dedicated to the Cross in September, known as the Exaltation of the Cross. And some people also mentioned in this month dedicated to her shrine a few days and of his Christ, giving them a different sense, at least that can come from the season, now is not the fall and spring. Acts including, but not very different, they are more crowded.
