| | Nail (relic) - Wikipedia |
 | | When Helena, mother of Constantine the Great discovered the True Cross in Jerusalem, the legend was told by and repeated by Sozomen and Theodoret that the Holy Nails had been recovered too. | | | The bridle of Constantine, for instance, is believed to be identical with a relic of this form which for several centuries has been preserved at Carpentras, but there is another claimant of the same kind at Milan. | | | Similarly the diadem of Constantine is asserted to be at Monza, and it has long been known as "the iron crown of Lombardy." Simple fraud is also a possibility. |

| | According to historians, Saint Helena, or Empress Helena, was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great, who ruled the western Roman Empire from 306AD until his death, during prayer, in 337 AD. | | | Helena also built a number of churches, including the Church of the Resurrection at Golgotha, where the "grace-filled fire" descends on Great Saturday each year; the Church on the Mount of Olives where Jesus ascended to Heaven; in Bethlehem where Jesus was born; and in Hebron where God appeared to Abraham. | | | Mount Saint Helena is one of the few remaining mountains in the Maycamas chain, a small range which runs parallel to the coastline and indicate earlier volcanic activity in the eastern Sonoma County area. |

| | Helena is speaking some seventeen hundred years ago; she is the Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great in Evelyn Waugh's 1950 novel named for her. | | | Helena, brisk and honest though she is, can't completely avoid getting caught up in this too; feeling trapped in Constantine's world of plots and fantastic visions of a new world order, she sets off for Jerusalem to find the remains of the cross of Jesus. | | | 'You are my especial patrons,' said Helena, 'and patrons of all late-comers, of all who have a tedious journey to make to the truth, of all who are confused with knowledge and speculation, of all who through politeness make themselves partners in guilt, of all who stand in danger by reason of their talents. |
