Summary/Abstract: The present study intends to present how Saint Theodore the Studite expresses the Orthodox Christian teaching on the Holy Cross in his hymnography. We began by briefly showing the major importance that the Holy Cross has in the Christian life, both as an object of worship and as a symbol. Continuing we have shown the theological-spiritual meanings about the foreshadowing of the Holy Cross in the Old Testament that Saint Theodore - this great theologian and skilful hymnographer – captures. We conclude with a detailed list of all the hymns dedicated to the Holy Cross that belong to our hymnographer.
