The cross our crown


Explanation:
This is the translation used by the Kirkby family on their coat of arms (see reference 1).

It is, as Paula says, Latin. With Scottish connections, there is also "Crux Christi nostra corona", the motto of the Pearston branch of the Barclay family, who translate as "Christ´s cross our crown" (see reference 2).
