An de an, pe data de 21 mai, creEi??tinii ortodocEi??i Ai??i sA?rbA?toresc pe SfinEi??ii AZmpA?raEi??i Constantin Ei??i Elena. Este una dintre cele mai Ai??nsemnate sA?rbA?tori deoarece Ai??mpA?ratul Constantin, sub sfatul mamei sale, Elena, a elaborat un plan pentru a elibera creEi??tinii de sub asuprirea pA?gA?nA? prin Edictul de la Mediolanum din 313.
Cum s-a convertit Constantin cel Mare?
ai??zMinunea de a deveni creEi??tin s-a produs atunci cA?nd Ai??n vis i s-a arA?tat crucea lui Hristos pe cer, sub forma unor stele luminoase AYi deasupra ei scria Ai??n latinA? cA? Ai??n acel semn va Ai??nvinge. Hristos i-a spus cA? Ai??l va birui pe Ai??mpA?ratul MaAi??xenA?iu – care se purta rA?u cu creAYtinii – dacA? va Ai??nsemna ostaAYii cu acel semn. Drept urmare, acest lucru s-a Ei??i Ai??ntA?mplat. Pe Arcul de Triumf al lui Constantin, care se pA?streazA? la Roma, se aflA? inscripEi??ia: ai??zinstinctu divinitatisai??? = ai??zprin inspiraEi??ie divinA?ai???, ce descoperA? cum a fost cA?Ei??tigatA? victoria asupra lui MaxenEi??iuai???.
SfA?ntul Constantin cel Mare a fost botezat pe patul de moarte de cA?tre episcopul Eusebiu de Nicomidia Ei??i a murit la scurt timp (337) dupA? aceea. Acesta Ai??a fost Ai??nmormA?ntat Ai??n biserica SfinEi??ii Apostoli din Constantinopol, ctitoritA? de el.
SfA?nta ElenaAi?? a murit Ai??n anul 330, iar sicriul ei, fiind o adevA?ratA? bijuterie artisticA?, poate fi admirat Ei??i Ai??n prezent la Muzeul Vaticanului.
Ce semnificA? numele SfinEi??ilor AZmpA?raEi??i Constantin Ei??i Elena?
Numele ConstantinAi??provine de la ai??zconstansai??? – ai??zconstantisai??? Ei??i Ai??nseamnA? ai??zconstantai??? , ai??zfermai???, acesta fiind de origine latinA?.
Numele Elena provine de la strA?vechiul nume ai??zHeleneai??? Ei??i Ai??nseamnA? ai??ztorA?A?ai???, ai??zfA?clieai???,Ai?? ai??zfoc sacruai???. AZn cinstea ei s-au ridicat mA?nA?stiri, biserici. DatoritA? altruismului sA?u Ei??i credinEi??ei de nestA?vilit, SfA?nta Elena rA?mA?ne un simbol de puritate.
SfinEi??ii Constantin Ei??i Elena mai sunt denumiEi??i Ei??i ai??zcei Ai??ntocmai ca Apostoliiai???. De asemenea, Ai??n tradiEi??ia popularA? se vorbeEi??te despre ei ca fiind pA?rinEi??ii Sfintei Cruci. TotodatA?, sA?rbA?toarea poartA? denumirea Ei??i de ai??zConstantin Graurai??? sau ai??zConstantinul Puilorai??? deoarece este o sA?rbA?toare a pA?sA?rilor de pA?dure.
Epoca Ai??n care au domnit aceEi??tia este denumitA? Ai??n creEi??tinism ca fiind ai??zEpoca de Aurai???, deoarece Ai??mpA?ratul Constantin a restituit averile creEi??tinilor Ei??i a dat legi ce protejau bA?trA?nii, orfanii Ei??i sA?racii. TotodatA?, legile au devenit aspre Ai??n privinEi??a violului Ei??i adulterului, protejA?nd astfel cA?sA?toriile. Se spune cA? mama sa, Elena, a fost mereu Ai??n spatele deciziilor ale unicului sA?u fiu. Politica lui religioasA? a fost urmatA? de fiii AYi succesorii lui, cu excepA?ia Ai??mpA?raAi??tului Iulian Apostatul (361-363). DatoritA? lor, creAYtinismul a devenit religie permisA?.
TradiEi??ii Ei??i obiceiuri
- Ai??n aceastA? zi nu se lucreazA?
- Ai??n unele zone ale Ei??A?rii este ultima zi cA?nd se mai poate semA?na porumb, ovA?z Ei??i mei
- podgorenii respectA? ziua de Constantin Graur Ai??n ideea cA?, dacA? vor munci, graurii le vor distruge strugurii;
- pentru a se apA?ra de forEi??e malefice, Ei??A?ranii aprind un foc mare Ei??i stau Ai??n jurul lui, prin acest foc obiEi??nuiesc sA? treacA? Ei??i oile, pentru a fi ferite de rele pe timpul cA?t vor sta la stA?nA?.
- femeile, pentru a alunga duhurile rele AYi necurate stropesc cu aghiasmA?
Biserica AZnvierii de la Ierusalim este ctitoritA? de cA?tre SfA?ntul Constantin alA?turi de mama sa, SfA?nta Elena, pe lA?ngA? celelalte biserici ridicate Ai??n Ierusalim, Roma, Nicomidia AYi Antiohia. A se reEi??ine faptul cA? SfinA?ii Ai??mpA?raA?i Constantin AYi Elena sunt reprezentaA?i Ai??Ai??ntotdeauna Ai??n iconografie alA?turi de cruce, ca semn al importanA?ei acesteia Ai??n viaA?a lor, simbol al jertfei AYi al iubirii pentru MA?ntuitorul.

Voi, sfintelor mA?nA?stiri AYi biserici, le sunteA?i pA?zitori; pentru aceasta cA?dem Ai??naintea voastrA? cu lacrimi, rugA?ndu-vA? sA? nu Ai??ncetaA?i a ne ajuta nouA?, neputincioAYilor, ci mijlociA?i la Dumnezeu AYi la Preacurata Lui MaicA?
