In hoc signo vinces


Innocenzio approaches Crocifisso…
Innocenzio: I got this invitation to join the fraternity. I was told it was secret. But I heard you were in it.
Crocifisso: So you want to know what it is? What it’s all about? “In hoc signo vinces.”
Innocenzio: My Latin’s a little rusty.
Crocifisso: “In this sign you will conquer.” Good night Innocenzio. Best of luck.
