Question
I was wondering if you could tell me which parts of the Legend of the True Cross,(the story or the frescoes by Piero,) are probably true. If you don't know, do you know where I could find this information? Thanks.

Answer
How true are the stories... This really depends on how catholic you are and how much of the bible you believe

here is a page that explains from a catholic sight the legend itself
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04529a.htm

From what Ive gathered Piero della francesca has done a good jod at relaying the story.
