By the 7th century this ritual was adopted at Rome. While Psalm 118 was sung, with Ecce lignum ("Behold the wood"), a relic of the Cross was carried in procession to the Basilica of the Holy Cross. This veneration of the cross spread to other places, and it is still the dominant note in the Good Friday liturgy in the Latin rite. Catholic churches without a relic of the cross substitute an ordinary wooden cross or crucifix. Over the centuries the rite was embellished with Psalms, antiphons, and hymns.
