FLAVIA JULIA HELENA AUGUSTA (SAINT HELENA)
WAS A NATIVE BORN GREEK WHO BECAME THE CONSORT OF EMPEROR CONSTANTIUS CHLORUS
AND THE MOTHER OF EMPEROR CONSTANTINE THE GREAT.
HELENA WAS A CHRISTIAN, AND HER IMPORTANCE TO HISTORY AND HER CONTRIBUTION TO
THE HEGEMONY OF CHRISTIANITY OVER WESTERN CIVILIZATION IS DUE TO THE INFLUENCE
SHE HELD OVER HER SON.
IT IS UNCERTAIN IF HELENA WAS THE WIFE OR CONCUBINE OF CONSTANTIUS CHLORUS, BUT
IT IS KNOWN THAT THE EMPEROR MAXIMIAN, JUNIOR CO-RULER WITH DIOCLETIAN,
COMMANDED CONSTANTIUS TO SET ASIDE HELENA TO MARRY HIS DAUGHTER THEODORA.
CONSTANTINE WENT WITH HIS MOTHER TO LIVE AT THE COURT OF DIOCLETIAN OUT OF THE
PUBLIC EYE.
AFTER THE DEATH OF CONSTANTIUS, AND THE RISE OF CONSTANTINE TO AUGUSTUS
(EMPEROR), HELENA WAS BROUGHT BACK INTO PUBLIC LIFE BY HER SON. HE GAVE HER THE
TITLE OF AUGUSTA (EMPRESS) IN 325. HE ALSO GAVE HER UNLIMITED ACCESS TO THE
IMPERIAL TREASURY TO LOCATE RELICS ASSOCIATED WITH HER CHRISTIAN FAITH. FROM 326
TO 328 SHE TRAVELED THROUGHOUT PALESTINE, ORDERED CHURCHES TO BE BUILT IN
BETHLEHEM, THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, AND OTHER PLACES IMPORTANT TO THE FAITH, AND IS
ACCREDITED WITH FINDING AND ASCERTAINING THE LEGITIMACY OF THE ONE TRUE CROSS OF
THE CRUCIFIXION, AS WELL AS THE NAILS USED TO AFFIX CHRIST TO THE CROSS. SHE HAD
ONE NAIL PLACED IN CONSTANTINE’S HELMET, AND THE OTHER IN THE BRIDLE OF HIS
HORSE.
FAMED FOR HER PIETY, SHE IS CONSIDERED A SAINT BY THE CATHOLIC, ORTHODOX,
ANGLICAN, AND LUTHERAN CHURCHES, AS IS HER SON CONSTANTINE. SHE IS OFTEN KNOWN
AS ST. HELEN OF CONSTANTINOPLE.
HELENA DIED AROUND THE YEAR 330, WITH HER SON AT HER SIDE.
