===Eastern Christianity===
According to the [[Sacred Tradition|sacred tradition]] of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] the True Cross was made from three different types of wood: [[Cedrus|cedar]], [[pine]] and [[cypress]].<ref name = "Roman">{{cite web |last=Roman |first=Alexander |url=http://www.ukrainian-orthodoxy.org/articles/2005/elevation.htm |title=Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303012320/http://www.ukrainian-orthodoxy.org/articles/2005/elevation.htm |archive-date=2016-03-03 |publisher=Ukrainian Orthodoxy |access-date=2012-10-27 }}</ref> This is an allusion to {{Bibleverse||Isaiah|60:13|HE}}: "The glory of [[Lebanon]] shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box [cypress] together to beautify the place of my sanctuary, and I will make the place of my feet glorious." The link between this verse and the crucifixion lies in the words "the place of my feet", which is interpreted as referring to the footrest ({{langx|la|suppedāneum}}) on which Jesus' feet were nailed{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} and which appears on the [[Orthodox cross]]. (Compare with the Jewish concepts of the [[Ark of the Covenant]] or the [[Jerusalem Temple]] as being God's footstool,{{sfnp|Kittel & al.|1969|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=eEITN4tLxtoC&pg=PA627 627]}} and the prescribed [[Three Pilgrimage Festivals]], in Hebrew ''aliya la-regel'', lit. ''ascending to the foot'').<ref>{{cite web |publisher= Science 2.0 |url= https://www.science20.com/news_releases/enormous_footshaped_enclosure_discovered_jordan_valley |title= Enormous 'foot-shaped' enclosure discovered in Jordan Valley |date= 6 April 2009 |access-date= 19 November 2018 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20181119214419/https://www.science20.com/news_releases/enormous_footshaped_enclosure_discovered_jordan_valley |archive-date= 19 November 2018 |url-status= live |df= dmy-all }}</ref>
