that this is one of the first three Chris

by Queen Helena some time during the
early part of the fourth century, the
other two being the Church of the Holy

of the Nativity in Bethlehem; and the
second period dating from the restora-

century of the previously destroy ed
original church of Queen Helena, the
destruction taking place probably dur
ing the early part of the sixth century
at the hands Of the Persian King,
