Above are two relics of the True Cross in our custody. The large one (above left) is provenient from that part of the Cross which can be found in Istanbul. Its documentation is from then-Archbishop Paul Karatas of the Chaldean Eparchy of Diyarbakir. Meanwhile, the small relic of the True Cross (above right) comes from a monastery that has been closed down. Also to the right is one of the two Vera Effigies relics in our custody. This comes from Rome. For more details about the relics and their history please click on each photo.
