True Cross of Christ (S02E08)
S02E08
Gates embarks on a quest to locate the True Cross, a legendary relic believed to possess extraordinary healing abilities, which has been missing for two millennia. His journey takes him to Jerusalem, Israel, and Istanbul, Turkey, as he investigates whether any remnants of the cross remain. According to legend, Empress Helena ordered the cross to be divided into three parts. Gates delves into this history at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City, the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial. He further explores the topic of crucifixion in Tel Aviv and uncovers ancient carvings of crosses at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
