Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Father Millet Cross is a memorial on the grounds of Fort Niagara in Youngstown, New York. The 18-foot (5.5 m) bronze cross is a replacement for the wooden cross erected by Pierre Millet at the New French Fort Denonville in 1688. During the preceding winter, disease and starvation overwhelmed the fort's garrison of a hundred men and only twelve of them were saved by a rescue party. Father Millet, a Jesuit missionary, was with this rescue party. On Good Friday (April 16) he celebrated Mass and erected and dedicated a cross invoking God's mercy for the plague-stricken men. On the beam of the cross is inscribed: "REGN. VINC. IMP. CHRS." an abbreviation for Regnat, Vincit, Imperat, Christus which is Latin for Christ reigns, conquers, and commands.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

La Cruz del Padre Millet (en inglés: Father Millet Cross) es un monumento en los jardines del Fuerte Niagara en Youngstown, Nueva York en Estados Unidos. La cruz de bronce de 18 pies (5,5 m) sustituyó a una cruz de madera erigida por Pierre Millet en el Fuerte Denonville de la Nueva Francia en 1688. Durante el invierno anterior, las enfermedades y el hambre abrumaron a la guarnición de la fortaleza de un centenar de hombres y sólo doce de ellos fueron salvados por un grupo de rescate. El padre Millet, un misionero jesuita francés, estaba con este grupo de rescate. El Viernes Santo (16 de abril) se celebró una Misa y se erigió y dedicó una cruz invocando la misericordia de Dios para con los hombres azotados por la peste. En el haz de la cruz está inscrito en latín: "..... REGN VINC IMP CHRS" refiriéndose a "Regnat, Vincit, imperat, Christus," en español: rey, Comandante vencedor, el Ungido.
