St. Helen- Today is my dear mother's middle name (Helen) Feast Day!
Here is something that i would like to share with you that i thought was interesting.
St. Helen is the mother of St. Constantine, and the daughter of an inn-keeper. She married a
Roman Solider. Constantine, her son- who soon became Constantine the Great, was born in
Nish, Serbia soon after, in 272. In 293, when Constantius was made Caesar, or junior emperor, he was persuaded to divorce Helen to marry Theodora the stepdaughter of Emperor Maximian. He lived for fourteen years after the divorce of St. Helen, and when he died at York in 306 his troops at York proclaimed their son Constantine caesar.
Happy Feast Day MOM! :) love, Kassiani
