St. Helen, the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great, is revered for her great faith and for her role in recovering the True Cross of Christ.

Her pilgrimage to the Holy Land led to the discovery of Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre, leaving an enduring mark on Christian devotion. Her life stands as a testament to the power of faith and conversion at any age.
