She is a prominent figure in Orthodox Christianity for her role in the uncovering of the True Cross of Jesus Christ.

Orthodox Christians honor Queen Helena for her piety, humility, and dedication to the Church. She is celebrated on May 21st in the Orthodox calendar, and her life serves as an inspiration for believers to seek and cherish the relics of the Cross as a symbol of salvation and redemption.
