Quo Vadis tells a powerful tale of love and redemption in a time of ultimate danger -- for Christians and Romans alike. Quo vadis Domine is Latin for Where are you going, Lord? and alludes to the apocryphal Acts of Peter, in which Peter flees Rome but on his way meets Jesus and asks him why he is going to Rome. Jesus says, I am going back to be crucified again, which makes Peter go back to Rome and accept martyrdom. It is a phrase of great meaning to Christians.
