Its roots trace back to the Roman Emperor Constantine during the Battle of the Milvius Bridge in the year 312. According to legend, Constantine had a vision where a cross mysteriously appeared in the sky, accompanied by the words “In Hoc Signo Vinces.” Subsequently, Constantine had the cross symbol (Chrism) reproduced on the standards and shields of his soldiers. Empowered by this divine sign, Constantine emerged victorious in the battle, while his rival Maxentius met his demise in the waters of the Tiber River. Rome’s religious destiny shifted dramatically as Constantine drew closer to Christianity. The entire Roman Empire eventually followed suit. In 325, Constantine convened the Council of Nicaea, where Christian unity was defined based on common dogma, and the organization and discipline of the Church were codified. In summary, “In Hoc Signo Vinces” symbolizes divine intervention, victory, and the pivotal moment when Christianity gained prominence within the Roman Empire.
