The hosts conclude with light-hearted 'dumb questions' that add a humorous touch to the serious themes discussed. Takeaways The Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a significant feast in the church. Scriptural readings highlight the importance of looking to God for healing. The cross symbolizes both death and the promise of new life.
