Between the first two chapels are stairs descending to The Chapel of St. Helena, belonging to the Armenians. The chapel is named after the mother of Emperor Constantine. From there, another set of 42 stairs leads down to the Roman Catholic Chapel of the Invention of the Holy Cross, believed to be the place where the True Cross was found. The Romans kept a pile of crosses at this location. Crucifixion was not uncommon in Roman occupied Jerusalem.
