According to tradition, Byzantine ruler Heraclius recaptured the "true cross" along with other relics from Sassanian King Khusro II who had taken it as part of the spoils of war when he sacked the holy city of Jerusalem. Supposedly, a small piece of this "true cross" on which Jesus was crucified was burned and the ashes were mixed with the clay used to produce these pilgrimage tokens which commemorate the safe return of the cross to Jerusalem. These have become increasingly hard to find and are very popular. Click here to see the page in Michael Mitchiner's book Medieval Pilgrim & Secular badges.
