On the tombstone: Knights Templar – In Hoc Signo Vinces
This photograph is of a Masonic Knights Templar symbol showing a cross within a crown inside a Maltese cross, which has the Latin phrase, "in hoc signo vinces." The phrase means "in this sign you shall conquer" and was used by Constantine as a military motto in the early 4th Century. The phrase was also used by the original Knights Templar military order that was founded during the Crusades. The Freemasons began using Templar rituals and symbols in the late 1700s.
