"How great the cross, through which we have received a multitude of blessings, because, against all reckoning, the miracles & sufferings of Christ have been victorious! How precious, the means of God's suffering, & his trophy of victory! On it of his own will he suffered unto death. On it he won his victory, wounding the devil, & conquering death, & shattering the bars of the underworld. The cross has become the common salvation of the whole world." (from homily of St Andrew of Crete)
