Saint Helena: The Empress Who Found the True Cross

 

Welcome to another episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints and this is going to be a HUGE week as we are going to discuss one of my absolute favorite saints of all time – Saint Helena. 

 

Saint Helena’s story is one of the most extraordinary transformations in Christian history—an innkeeper’s daughter who rose to imperial power, shaped the faith of Constantine the Great, and embarked on a sacred mission that changed the world.

 

This episode follows Helena’s journey from obscurity to sainthood:

 

·     Her early life and rise within the Roman Empire

·     Her profound influence on Constantine

·     The Miraculous Sign in the Sky she witnessed that Converted an Empire

·     Her life as the first Christian Empress and caretaker of the poor and needy

·     The Intense Family Tragedy that devastated her and shook the Empire to its core

·     Her historic pilgrimage to Jerusalem

·     Her legendary discovery of the True Cross

·     And the many basilicas she built that still define Christian memory today

 

Through historical research, archaeology, ancient texts, and cinematic visual storytelling, this episode uncovers the real woman behind the legends—pilgrim, builder, mother, and the quiet force who helped reshape the spiritual landscape of the empire and transformed the world forever.  You won’t want to miss it!
