For those of you who know about Constantine, and the Battle of Milvian Bridge, do you believe that he actually had a vision to paint chi rho on his soldier’s shields?

I don’t know if this is the right place for this question, sorry if it isn’t.
 
If you ask Jack Chick, he’ll say that what Constantine saw was really an ankh! :)🙂

Yes. I was actually just reading about Constantine the other day in a book called “When the Church Was Young: Voices of the Early Fathers” by Dr. Marcellino d’Ambrosio. Fantastic and highly readable intro to the Church Fathers, I highly recommend it 🙂

You’ve got to admire him for his constant sense of naming, and his practice of the virtue of constancy. (I remember reading that bit in Edward Gibbon a few years ago, and it stuck with me. Won’t do it to my sons, though. :)_
 
He had the vision of the chi rho.

He then later made extensive use of it.

Catholicism is full of supernatural things… seek and Ye shall find. 🙂
