The power of the Holy Cross was revealed in a miraculous vision Emperor Constantine the Great [List Of Emperors] witnessed in 312 A.D. while marching against Maxentius near Rome. The Emperor saw stars in the sky, in broad daylight, forming the sign of the Cross and the words "Εν Τούτω Νίκα" {En Touto Nika}, that is "IN THIS (the sign of the Cross) YOU WILL CONQUER". It was October 28th, 312 A.D. From this point on, his troops' shields were emblazoned with this symbol and although outmanned, defeated his enemy and became sole Emperor of a vast Empire.
