La Vraie-Croix (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx) is a commune in the Morbihan department in Brittany in north-western France.[2] Its inhabitants are called Langroëziens after the Breton name for the commune.
History
The name La Vraie-Croix (Template:Langx) comes from a knight of the Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem who, returning from a crusade, carried with a fragment of the True Cross. He stopped in the town during this journey. He returned the next day and saw that the fragment had disappeared. The piece was subsequently found in a crow's nest on top of a hawthorn bush.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The townspeople removed it, but the next day the fragment was back in the crow's nest. They saw it was a sign, and the people decided to build a chapel at the site of the tree to house the relic.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
