(Counqer In This/in this, win) /En Touto Nika? literally "In this sign, you will conquer." At this sight he himself was struck with amazement, and his whole army also, which followed him on this expedition, and witnessed the miracle.And while he continued to ponder and reason on its meaning, night suddenly came on; then in his sleep the Christ of God appeared to him with the same sign which he had seen in the heavens, and commanded him to make a likeness of that sign which he had seen in the heavens, and to use it as a safeguard in all engagements with his enemies. Constantine was directed in a dream to cause the heavenly sign to be depict/sketch on the shields of his soldiers, and so to proceed to battle. He did as he had been commanded and he marked it on their shields. The emperor constantly made use of this sign of salvation as a safeguard against every adverse and hostile power, and commanded that others similar to it should be carried at the head of all his armies and leading him to victory. Constantine?s defeat of Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge put him in a powerful position. Constantine became sole emperor of Rome and proceeded to further the interests of Christianity. In 324, for example, he exempted Christian clergy from all obligations otherwise imposed upon citizens (like taxation) the role of Constantine in shaping the Christian church and church history should not be underestimated. The first important thing he did after his victory over Maxentius was issue the Edict of Toleration in 313. Also known as the Edict of Milan because it was created in that city, it instituted religious toleration as the law of the land and ended the persecution of Christians. Pope Alexander VII placed a statue of Constantine created by Bernini and located in the Vatican in a prominent locate: the entrance of the Vatican Palace, just next to the grand staircase (Scala Regia). Just as significant as Constantine?s conversion to and official toleration of Christianity was his unprecedented decision to move the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome itself to Constantinople.Almost as important to the history of Christianity as Constantine was his mother, Helena (Flavia Iulia Helena: Saint Helena, Saint Helen, Helena Augusta, Helena of Constantinople). Both the Catholic and the Orthodox churches consider her a saint partially because of her piety and partially because of her work on behalf of Christian interests during those earlier years. She is traditionally credited with finding the relics of the True Cross,with which she is often represented in Christian iconography, she is considered by the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox,Eastern and Roman Catholic churches, as well as by the Anglican Communion and Lutheran Churches as a saint, famed for her piety. Her feast day as a saint of the Orthodox Christian Church is celebrated with her son on 21 May, the "Feast of the Holy Great Sovereigns Constantine and Helen". Her feast day in the Roman Catholic Church falls on 18 August. Helena converted to Christianity after she followed her son to the imperial court. She became much more than just a casual Christian, though, launching more than one expedition to locate original relics from the origins of Christianity. She is credited in Christian traditions with having ound pieces of the True Cross and the remains of the Three Wise Men.Thanks Shipping U.S Shipping price is automatically calculated and determined upon the final destination through USPS.There are shipping and handling fees for international shipping*Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
