 Queen Helen and her son king Constantine went to Jerusalem where the Lord was crucified to look for the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ  When they arrived they looked everywhere for the cross but could not find it.

 Finally, an old man, whose name was Judas, told her that the cross is under a huge pile of garbage  When they cleaned up the huge pile of garbage, they found three crosses. Which one is Jesus’s cross?? Which one is Jesus’s cross??

 They brought a dead person:  They put him on the 1 st cross, NOTHING HAPPENED!  They put him on the 2 nd cross, NOTHING HAPPENED!  Then, they put him on the 3 rd cross (Jesus' Cross), he ROSE UP!

 Saint Helen and king Constantine were so happy!!  They ordered their soldiers to build the Resurrection church in Jerusalem where they found the cross.

 The Coptic Cross fits into a circle, which symbolizes eternity.  Each arm of the Cross has three branches for Trinity.  The 12 Branches (4 Arms X 3 Branches) represent the number of disciples.
