Ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane ye-XNUMX, uSanta Helena, umama womlawuli waseRoma uConstantine, waya eYerusalem eyokukhangela iindawo ezingcwele zobomi bukaKristu. Wayitshabalalisa itempile ka-Aphrodite yenkulungwane yesi-XNUMX, ethi ngokwesiko lakhelwe phezu kwengcwaba likaMsindisi, kwaye unyana wakhe wakha iBasilica ye-Holy Sepulcher kuloo ndawo. Ngexesha lokomba, abasebenzi bafumana iminqamlezo emithathu. Imbali ithi lowo wafelwa nguYesu wachongwa xa ukuchukumisa kwakhe kwaphilisa umfazi owayefile.
Umnqamlezo kwangoko waba yinto yokuhlonelwa. Kumsitho wangoLwesihlanu olungileyo eJerusalem ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane yesine, ngokwengqina lokuzibonela, iinkuni zisuswe kwisikhongozeli sesilivere zaze zabekwa etafileni kunye nombhalo uPilato awayalela ukuba ubekwe phezu kwentloko kaYesu: “Bonke abantu badlula nganye nganye; bonke isaphetha, ukuchukumisa umnqamlezo kunye nombhalo, kuqala ebunzi, emva koko ngamehlo; Emva kokumanga umnqamlezo, bayaqhubeka “.

Ngokwasebalini, umlawuli wayezimisele ukubuyisela umnqamlezo eYerusalem yedwa, kodwa akakwazanga ukuqhubela phambili ade akhulule iimpahla zakhe zobukhosi kwaye abe ngumhambi ngezinyawo.
