INRI on the cross means "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews", in Latin. Supposedly, the Roman soldiers wrote this there to mock him.

INRI and JNRJ both can be found on tombstones too,and they mean the same:
Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum and,
Jesus of Nazareth, Rex of the Jews.
13th is considered unlucky as there were 13 ppl present in the "Last Supper" of Christ.

what endora tells you about INRI is not true. it's really
Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudæorum - Jesus of Nazareth, king of the Jews.
and about the number 13 - yes, there is the story of the 13 people present at the Last Supper.

In Italian it is - Iesvs Nazarenves Rex Indacorvrn - which means in English Jesus the Nazareen the Kind of Jews
Jesus and 12 of his disciples were together 13 in number. Jesus was crucified. So thirteen is unlucky for Christians.

INRI is ancient hebrew for thou shalt suffer no impious king to live, and the number 13 is considered unlucky because it used to be believed that satan worshippers mocked the last supper with covens of 13 people--the 12 apostles and christ

I believe the significance of the unluckiness of the number thirteen stems from the fact that at the "last supper" Jesus plus his 11 "faithful" disciples made 12,then you add Judas Iscariot (the "unfaithful disciple" who betrayed him) and it makes 13.

"IESUS" is " EISA" to Muslims in the Quran, quite a popular name for the newborn. Scholars may kindly explain how it became Jesus in other languages ! INRA: It is correct. That he was of Nazareth and a virtual king for the then Jews.

Just to clarify - the Romans posted the criminal's crime on his or her cross. King of the Jews was Christ's crime, it was not an honorific.
