EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece known as "Exaltation of the Cross. Saints Constantine the Great and Helena" created around 1350 by an anonymous artist. Housed in the esteemed Visoki Decani monastery in Kosovo, this painting is a testament to faith and Christianity. The artwork depicts two revered figures from history: Saint Constantine the Great and his mother, Saint Helena. Both played significant roles in shaping Christianity's early days. The fresco exudes loyalty and devotion as it portrays these saints with utmost reverence. The fine details of this Byzantine art piece transport viewers back to Constantinople during Emperor Constantine's reign. It beautifully captures their adoration for the True Cross, symbolizing Christ's crucifixion. Saint Helena, also known as Helena Augusta or Helena of Constantinople, was not only Emperor Constantine's mother but also a devout Christian herself. Her unwavering commitment to her faith led her on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem where she discovered fragments of the Holy Cross. This stunning portrayal commemorates both Saint Constantine's conversion to Christianity and Saint Helena's discovery of relics that became objects of veneration across Christendom. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross—a celebration that honors its significance within Christian theology. This print serves as a timeless reminder of our rich spiritual heritage while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship from an anonymous artist who has left an indelible mark on history through their brushstrokes
