The whole relics of the Holy Empress Elena
‘Although the saint was initially buried in Rome, her holy relics were moved to Constantinople, and in 1211 they were taken to Venice by the Crusader Knights. Only in 2017, they were first taken out of pilgrimage, in Greece. Romania thus becomes the second Orthodox country that hosts the relics of Saint Empress Elena from moving to the West. The event takes place in the context of the annual pilgrimage organized at the Pantocrator Monastery on the occasion of the Sunday of Women Mironosițe ‘, announces Basilica.ro.
