Italiano: Flavia Giulia Elena (248/249 - 328/329) fu concubina dell'imperatore romano Costanzo Cloro, da cui ebbe il futuro imperatore romano Costantino I. Una leggenda cristiana le attribuisce la miracolosa riscoperta della "Vera Croce" (e dei relativi tre chiodi), rimasta sepolta per secoli e dimenticata. Per questo motivo nell'iconografia cristiana, per la quale è nota come sant'Elena, è di solito rappresentata con in mano la croce.
English: Flavia Iulia Helena, also known as Saint Helena, Saint Helen, Helena Augusta, and Helena of Constantinople, (AD c. 248 - c. 330) was the first wife of Constantius Chlorus, and the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great. The pious legend attributes to her the miracolous discovery of the "True cross" hidden for centuries. Therefore in Christian iconography Helena is represented with the cross in hands
Русский: Флавия Юлия Елена Августа — жена римского императора Констанция Хлора, мать императора Константина I. Прославилась своей деятельностью по распространению христианства и проведённым ею раскопкам в Иерусалиме, в ходе которых был обретён Животворящий Крест и другие реликвии Страстей. Елена почитается рядом христианских церквей как святая в лике равноапостольных (святая Елена, Елена Равноапостольная, Елена Константинопольская).
