The Santacruzan (from the Spanish "santa cruz", "holy cross") is the ritual pageant held on the last day of the "Flores de Mayo". It honors the finding of the True Cross by Helena of Constantinople (known as "Reyna Elena") and Constantine the Great. Its connection with May stems from the May 3 date of Roodmas, which Pope John XXIII deleted in 1960 due to the trend at the time to abolish holy days. The Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross on September 14, which commemorates the recovery of the relic by Emperor Heraclius from the Persians instead of the finding by Saint Helen was all that was retained in the calendar of the New Order.
