Thanks for the mottos.
But I think that the translation of "In Hoc Signo Vinces" is wrong. I think that it means something like: "By this sign we/I will win (be victorious)" or: "With This Sign You'll Win" Do anyone out there know Latin and can verify this?? |

Im no Latin expert, but if I recall, this was the saying Emperor Constantine saw in the sky at the battle of Milvian Bridge, which did mean somthing along the lines of "With this sign you/we will win".

Found some info abou that on a catholic website, called "In Hoc Signo Vinces", where they explain about Constantines vision in the sky.
