The log of the Cross that survives in Caravaca is a Christian symbol that represents the whole content of the message of the person and Christ's action. The authentic relics of cross are not an any representation in his origin and meaning, but his emblematic value exceeds the time and certain space and of an epoch, more universal dimension is projected by one . We speak about an oriental, proceeding cross of Jerusalem, of a medieval and patriarchal relic, guarded in Caravaca, firstly for the Order of the Tempering and later for that of Santiago, and of a miraculous story of his presence in enclave caravaqueño. Fifth Holy City, granted by the Pope Juan Pablo II, together with Rome, Jerusalem, Santiago de Compostela and Liébana, celebrates his jubilee every 7 years, the first one of them in 2003, when it was visited by the cardinal of that time Ratzinger, now Pope Benedicto XVI.
