The Parish of Saint Elena in Monaco recently celebrated its patronal feast day, dedicated to St Elena, followed by a most splendid and informal lunch at Anoïa restaurant on blvd. des Moulins.
To mark this special annual occasion in the life of the Church, a parishioner made and presented a very beautiful icon representing Saint Elena.
