A Russian news report in 2020 said the Christian relic would be stored on the Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet, which sank this week. FOX13
The guided-missile cruiser sank this week while being towed to port after suffering heavy damage. While the circumstances remain in dispute, the whereabouts of a piece of the "True Cross" — what believers say is the wood of the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified — have also been called into question.
The relic is a wood chip that is only several millimeters long, the church told the news outlet. It is embedded into a 19th-century metal cross, which is then stored in a special reliquary — or a container for such relics. The location of the piece of the True Cross was also unclear. The Russian embassy in London did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
