Constantine and St. Helena

UNKNOWN MASTER, German
Darmstadt Altarpiece: Constantine and His Mother Helena
Venerating the True Cross.
207x 109 cm. Staatliche Museen, Berlin

Yesterday marked the annual celebration of a a man who is known for making some of the greatest advances in civil rights. But yesterday also marked the celebration of two much more important figures, whose influence have had a much greater impact not merely on American society or even Western civilization at large but also on the entire world. The effect was an earthquake that shook every aspect of antiquity and the already fading structures of Roman empire. It began, as all truly great things do, with a mother and was realized in her son. The two people were Constantine the Great and his mother St. Helena. The feast day was yesterday, though few us knew or probably even cared.
