'''Saint Constantine the Great''' (February 27, AD 272 – May 22, 337), born Flavius Valerius Constantinus, was a [[Saints|saint]] and Roman Emperor who played a pivotal role in the spread of Christianity. Born in [[Naissus]], Moesia Superior (modern Niš, Serbia), he rose to power through military victories, becoming sole emperor by 324. His conversion to Christianity, influenced by a vision of the cross before the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312, led to the Edict of Milan in 313, granting tolerance to Christians. He founded [[Constantinople]] as the new capital, convened the First Council of Nicaea in 325 to address Arianism, and supported the construction of churches like the Holy Sepulchre. Venerated as a saint in the [[Eastern Orthodox]] Church, his feast day is celebrated on [[May 21]].<ref name="Eusebius">{{cite book |last=Eusebius |title=Life of Constantine |editor=Averil Cameron, Stuart G.
