The veneration (adoratio) of the cross among Catholics is performed not on the day of the Exaltation, but on Good Friday at the liturgy after the Gospel and a special litany according to the following rite: The priest, turning his face to the people, first opens the upper part of the cross from the right corner of the throne, then, moving a little, opens the right branch of the cross and the head of the Crucified One, and finally stands in the middle of the throne and opens the entire cross. At each opening, he, gradually raising his voice and raising the cross, exclaims: “behold the tree of the cross on which the Salvation of the world was hung (pependit),” to which the choir each time replies: “Come, let us worship,” and at the same time everyone prostrates down, except for one celebrant. After this, the cross is placed on a pillow on a carpeted floor. Then the cross is worshiped first by the clergy (without shoes), and then by the people (for the female sex a cross is prepared in a special place). Before kissing the cross, the clergy puts something on the plate: this is the property of the master of ceremonies.
When venerating the cross, Latin sovereigns place papers on a plate in which various favors are shown to their subjects. During the veneration of the cross, the so-called “reproaches” (improperia), or antiphons, are sung, which first depict the blessings of God shown to the Jewish people, and then their black ingratitude before God. Each antiphon is accompanied by a trisagion, which is sung alternately in Greek and Latin. Then “We bow to Thy Cross, Master” and other hymns in honor of the Cross of the Lord are sung.
