Nir > Monastery of the Holy Cross, Jerusalem (Greek Orthodox Church), May 2004 The Tree of the Holy Cross and the site of the Monastery where it grew are sanctified in ecclesiastical sources. In legends and ancient tradition they are linked back to the biblical patriarch Abraham. The legend recounts that the three Angels who visited Abraham (Genesis 18) left him their staffs before proceeding to Sodom. After Lot sinned with his daughters at Sodom, he confessed to Abraham who instructed him to plant the staffs in the environs of Jerusalem and give them water from the Jordan River – their blossoming would signify the God accepted his penance. Lot planted the staffs in the valley where the Monastery stands today. His unceasing attempts to haul water from the Jordan River were stymied by Satan for 40 years before he finally managed to water the staffs. They immediately blossomed and grew into a triplet pine/cypress/cedar tree. During King Solomon’s reign, the tree was felled for use as timber in the building of the Judaic Temple, however the beams would fit nowhere and were cast aside as cursed – the very beams that would make the Cross of Jesus Christ in later times. The spot where the Tree of the Holy Cross grew is inside the crypt chapel behind the Altar of the main church, in the Monastery of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem.
