Certain aspects imply that this window portrays a scene of St. Helen speaking to her son, Roman Emperor Constantine, who issued the Edict of Milan in 313,
protecting Christians from facing death. For 300 years of Christianity, prior to Constantine, people who publicly professed their Catholic Faith were martyred.

St. Helen went to the Holy Land to retrieve the "Cross of Christ," bringing it back to the Roman Empire as a sign of victory over evil.
It is said that, by her saintly example, she taught her son about Jesus Christ, pointing to the responsibility of teaching our faith to our children.
