Our Exaltation of the Cross icon shows the story of when the mother of the emperor Constantine the Great, Saint Helen, ordered the construction of many new churches over the holy sites of Christ?s Nativity and Crucifixion. During the excavations for the latter church, three crosses were discovered, which at Saint Helen?s insistence were tested to see if one of these was the Holy Cross on which Christ was crucified. When a woman near death was touched with the third cross and miraculously restored to health, Saint Helen declared it the True Cross, and her son Constantine ordered the building of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. We offer our Biblical icons in a wide range of sizes to best suit your space.
