Produced by David Starner, Linda Cantoni, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Elene of Cynewulf" translated into English prose by Lucius Hudson Holt is a historical poem that was likely composed during the Anglo-Saxon period, specifically in the early medieval era. This work is a narrative piece of Old English poetry that recounts the story of Queen Elene, the mother of Emperor Constantine, and her quest for the True Cross of Christ. The book emphasizes themes of faith, victory, and conversion. The narrative centers on Queen Elene's journey, prompted by her son Constantine’s vision that leads to his conversion to Christianity. After her son’s victorious battle, Elene travels to Jerusalem, seeking the true cross upon which Christ was crucified. She encounters resistance from the Jewish leaders but, with the help of Judas, who initially hides the location of the cross, she discovers the three crosses on Calvary. The true cross is identified through a miracle when it raises a dead man to life, solidifying its significance and leading to the conversion of Judas. Ultimately, Elene's efforts culminate in the establishment of a church at Calvary, emphasizing her importance in the Christian faith and legacy.
