    Backstory: Helena (or Saint Helena) was an Empress of the Roman Empire, and mother of Emperor Constantine the Great. She made a religious tour later in life and brought a seamless tunic worn by Christ from Jerusalem to Trier, Germany. The garment is usually stored in the reliquary and is not on display. However, pilgrimages take place at irregular intervals to view the garment, one of which was in 1933.
