The Symbol of Christianity From the Byzantine Empire and Beyond
History you can see. Stories you can discover.
Grace Episcopal Church invites you to experience a remarkable exhibition of authentic ancient crosses — not reproductions — spanning centuries of Christian history.
From the collection of John M. Lawrence and curated by Thomas Myers, The Rise of the Cross explores the development of Christianity’s most recognizable symbol from the Byzantine Empire and beyond.
Each piece is accompanied by explanatory material designed to inform, challenge, and spark curiosity, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the history, artistry, cultures, and stories represented by these extraordinary objects.
