Elene, lines 997b-1103

Constantine tells the messenger to go back to Elene and command her to build a temple on the spot.  She does, and has the Cross covered in gold and gems.

Judas, now converted to Christianity, receives baptism.  Elene commands Eusibius the bishop of Rome, to come to her.  He appoints Judas as bishop of Jerusalem and renames him Cyriacus.

Helen is still concerned that the nails which fastened Christ to the Cross have not been found. She asks Judas to pray for guidance.  Judas does so.
