#constantineandhelen

Today we celebrate the Holy God-crowned Emperors and Equal to the Apostles, Constantine and Helen. It was under Saint Constantine's rule that the Edict of Milan was passed, stating that Christians could practice their faith freely without being persecuted. This edict was enforced throughout the whole Roman Empire, both East and West. Saint Helen, his mother, went to the Holy Lands and found the Venerable Cross of Christ, building 365 churches around the Holy Lands (one for each day of the year) and renewing the then destroyed city of Jerusalem. Because of these two saints, the course of Christianity changed forever. A blessed name day to all who celebrate and may the holy saints intercede for us all + #saint #saints #constantine #helen #constantinethegreat #constantineandhelen #saintconstantine #sainthelen #eleni #constantinos #emperor #emperors #holy #equaltotheapostles #apostle #apostles #preach #preaching #preacher #holyromanempire #rome #romanempire #holyrome #constantinople #christianity #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Constantinople - Κωνσταντινούπολη) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdy1KGUP__N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
