The '''True Cross''' is the name for those physical remnants and the subject of those literary records which, by a widely accepted Christian tradition, are believed to be those of the [[cross]] upon which, according to the [[Gospels|Gospel]] writers, Jesus was crucified.

Many churches now possess fragmentary remains which are by tradition claimed to be those of the True Cross. Their authenticity is not universally accepted by those of the Christian faith. The veracity of the reports surrounding the discovery of the True Cross is questioned by many Christians. The acceptance and belief of that part of the tradition that pertains to the Early Christian Church is generally accepted by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
