In hoc signo vinces

"In hoc signo vinces" means "in this sign you will conquer." St. Paul says, "But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world" (Galatians 6: 14).
On July 19th the new cross, replacing the one which came down with Hurricane Sandy, was blessed and installed on the
top of the steeple of the Church. You will notice that the design of the new cross matches the design of the cross in many places inside the Church, like in the center of the altar, on the front of the pulpit and the cantor's lectern, and on the wall to the left and right of the sanctuary. You will also notice it above the outside entrance of the Cathedral. Here are some pictures of the preparation of the steeple, the blessing of the cross, the installation of the cross and the final product.
