Deo optim maxim sacrum


Notre Dame St. Eglise : Ferney-Voltaire, FR

Most of the Latin and Greek I learned was years ago when I was studying medical terminology. Unfortunately, it is of little use to me in my effort to translate the words above the door of Notre Dame St. Eglise in Ferney. I know "Deo" means god or deity, but beyond that I'm stuck. Anyone out there know Latin?
