St. King Konstantin is called Equal -to -the -Apostles, because, like the apostles, he made a lot for the Christian church. The Christian faith was driven to him and Christians pursued and Karali, and he made it dominant in the Roman Empire. His parents were Constantius chlorine, which ruled the western regions of the Roman Empire - Spain, Gaul and Britain - and respected Christians for their good qualities, and Elena. In 306, after the death of his father, Konstantin entered the throne and, like his father, did not pursue Christians. At the same time, Maxentius reigned in Rome, an evil and greedy man. Under his management, it was hard not only for Christians, but also to the Gentiles, so that the Romans turned to Konstantin with a request to free them from a tyrant. Konstantin went against Maxentia, and now, when he approached Rome, suddenly in the middle of the day he and his army saw in heaven a cross from the stars with the inscription: Simit. The next night, the Lord appeared to Konstantin in a vision and ordered to make a banner like a cross and depict a cross on weapons, shields and helmets of warriors. Konstantin did so and defeated the enemy, despite his strong army, fleeing, the tyrant drowned in the Tiber River. Then Konstantin adopted Christianity, although he was not yet baptized, he was baptized shortly before his death
