VEXILLA REGIS PRODEUNT. - Hymn of Vespers in the season of the Passion, composed at Poitiers ca. 569 by Venantius Fortunatus on the occasion of the arrival of a relic of the Holy Cross, given to St. Radegund by Justinian II, emperor of the East.

It is the apotheosis of the Cross and of what was accomplished on it by Jesus for the redemption of the world.
