Many churches claim to have fragments of the True Cross, reputedly the wood of the cross on which Jesus was crucified. Among these churches are the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem (the site of Christ’s tomb); the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem in Rome; Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris; and the Mission Basilica San Buenaventura (one of the 18th-century missions founded by St. Junípero Serra) in Ventura, California.
