She is also considered by the Church to be a [[saint]], and she is famed for her piety. [[Eusebius of Caesarea]] records the details of her [[pilgrimage]] to Palestine and other eastern provinces. She is traditionally credited with the finding of [[relics]] of the [[cross]] of [[Jesus Christ|Christ]] (see [[True Cross]] for the story), and finding the remains of the [[Three Wise Men]], which currently reside in the Shrine of the Three Kings at Cologne Cathedral. Her feast day is on [[May 21]], together with her son.
