Queen & Cross Story Of St Helen by Cornelia Bilinsky

Sweet-smelling basil marks the spot in this treasure hunt led by a queenly saint!

Saint Helen, the mother of Constantine, is a heroic empress on a mission. Determined to find the holy Cross on which Jesus died, Helen sets out on a journey to Jerusalem, where a strong smell of basil—the herb of kings—guides her to the place where the Cross might be buried. But when she starts digging, she finds not one cross, but three! How will Helen know which cross belongs to Jesus?

Join Saint Helen on her quest to find the holy Cross in this fascinating blend of history and legend for children ages 5 to 8.
