Daily Meaning

August 18th as rumor has it is significant because....Modern Christians are indebted to a St. Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great. St. Helena is credited with the finding of the True Cross; even in works of art she adorned with a crown and exalted as an empress.
Another nickname Christians have for St. Helena is "Stabularia," due to the church she built on the spot at Bethlehem where Jesus was born. However, the Jews, call her "Stabularia"because, supposedly, she was originally the daughter of an innkeeper.
And that is why August 18th is important...Just imagine our world without the invention of religion, most of the world's governments would crumble.

Hmmn. Why is August 18th significant? Was this the birthday of Helena? The anniversary of her return form the Holy Land?

Your writing is a bit rough in places, and I do think you need to explain more about your topic than you did.

And providing links might help someone read some of the background they don't have.

Good start. We'll get there.
