The True Cross (Timios Stavros) church is located at the namesake holy hill of Rethymno and it celebrates on September 14th. The holy temple of True Cross became a great pilgrimage to the sanctity of the place and the miraculous power of the True Cross.
The hill area was an important religious center, even when the city remained small and obscure. That is why in modern times (1949) a small single-nave church of the True Cross was built in the most prominent point and placed there the miraculous Cross.
