However\, the term "Cross of Light" is used mainly in connection with the eschatological Cross\, the sign of Christ which will precede His second coming. This is made clear in St. Eph rem's Serm.11\,341-639 where he says that everybody will see the Cross of the Son\; the Nations will be glad to see the Cross in which they took ref uge and the Jews will be disgraced by it because they are the crucifiers o f Christ. \;Mor Jacob of Sarug\, on the other hand makes it clear that the Cross of light is the same one which was set up on Golgotha. He calls it the Cross of light because it dispersed the darkness which engulfed th e world when Christ was crucified. He writes: \;"The Cross of light sh owed itself on Golgotha\, \;and scattered the darkness from the four c orners by its shining." \;Having this in mind\, Mor Jacob sees all the saints as rays of light shining from the Cross of light\, or as Paul woul d say\, they shine like stars in the world. James praises St. George the M artyr and says to him: \;"You are fixed in the Cross of light like a r ay\, \;and your glory shines in the four corners oft he universe."&nbs p\;In a Ge'ez (Ethiopian/Eritrean) homily on the Cross attributed to St. J acob of Serugh\, we read \;"The Cross of light showed miracles to the children of man. By it\, the horn of the Church is exalted. It is the Cros s of light that saved the world from committing error. Grant me the light to see Your glory with the eyes of my mind. The Church knew that Satan fel l by the Cross of light\; and she boasted of it because it defeats the pow er of the enemy by the greatness of its power. She saw Him carrying life\, standing at Golgotha. She called her children to acquire from it an etern al life. All rejoiced by the Cross of the Son of God. Our heart rejoices b y Your Cross of light on whom You were crucified."Reference: Mor Cyril Aph rem Karim\, 'The Sign of the Cross'\, in Pro Oriente Syriac Dialogue V 200 3 LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
