This is a pretty fascinating subject, for me anyway.

There are tons of phony claims out there, but I like to think pieces of the True Cross exist out there. It makes me feel like Indian Jones.
This quote is funny:
Quote:
There is no abbey so poor as not to have a specimen. In some places there are large fragments, as at the Holy Chapel in Paris, at Poitiers, and at Rome, where a good-sized crucifix is said to have been made of it. In brief, if all the pieces that could be found were collected together, they would make a big ship-load. Yet the Gospel testifies that a single man was able to carry it.
