Please forgive the irreverance, but just how many Bits of the True Cross really exist? Over a hundred years ago Mark Twain, that irrasible secular saint, noted that he'd viewed enough True Nails of the Cross to fill a keg or two. The True Cross seems to have divided itself into a venerable forest of crosses; for enough bits exist, that, if you could collect them all you could build a SuperBowl Stadium. I suppose I am in trouble for such thoughts, but then I'm but a Presbyterian.
Actually, the relics of the True Cross that have some reasonable attestation behind them only amount to about 2/3rds of what we should have.

AFAIK, there are only 3.
