Feast of St. Helena, August 18


My brush with greatness....

St. Helena was the mother of Constantine I. Constantine I was the first Christian Roman Emperor (there is some debate as to what kind of Christian he was, but he is revered as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox "Church"). He became Emperor after defeating Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312AD. In 315AD, an arch in Rome was dedicated to him and his great victory.

And I've SEEN the arch. Here it is from the Colosseum.

OK. That's a stretch...
