Ani Tigran Honents church 23 Interior True cross fresco 3680

I was informed these are Emperor Constantine and his mother Helena joined by the True cross. Their presence in the church is significant. In fact, Tigran Honents, like Helena, gathered relics of the true cross. These relics were found in the church.
