St. Helen was born in Drepano of Bithynia in 247 AD. and came from a humble family. She married Constantius Chlorus, a Roman officer, with whom she had a son, the emperor Constantine the Great. When Constantius became emperor of Galatia, he divorced Helen and married Theodora. The Saint went to the East, where she lived humbly with the help of Constantine the Great. In 326 AD Helen went to Jerusalem and managed, after many difficulties, to discover the Holy Cross. The Saint was distinguished for her beneficences and for the reconstruction of new Churches. He slept peacefully in 327 AD. at the age of 80. Her remains were placed in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople and later transported to Venice. Her memory is commemorated on May 21 of each year.

Handling the icons should also be done cautiously; oils from our hands can stain their shiny surface. Dust can softly be removed with a pure white cloth.

Following the above simple instructions will guarantee that your icon will age gracefully through time and will be enjoyed by the generations to come.
