what does ihs stand for?

Answer 1

In Hoc Satanis +
Just kidding,it's part of a latin phrase "In Hoc Signo (vinces)", or "In this sign, conquer".

Answer 2

IHS is the anglicized rendering of the first three Greek letters in Jesus' name. In the early Church, especially during the time of the Roman persecution, this became a popular way of writing Jesus' name as a sort of code. Since then it has become a universally-used insignia and shows up on all types of Catholic religious art and accoutrements. After a few centuries, when the monogram was integrated into the general Latin usage of the Church, many were unacquainted with the original meaning and wrongly believed it meant, in Latin, Iesus Hominum Salvator (Jesus, Savior of Humanity), Iesus Hierosolyma Salvator (Jesus, Savior of Jerusalem), and even the exquisitely banal English version your friend favors, In His Service

God Bless You

IHS is the anglicized rendering of the first three Greek letters in Jesus' name. In the early Church, especially during the time of the Roman persecution, this became a popular way of writing Jesus' name as a sort of code. IHS - These are the first three letters in Greek for "Jesus" in this language. There have been several ways of interpreting over the years what IHS or IHC stand for : 1. Iesus (Jesus) Hemeteros Soter - Greek for Jesus , Our Saviour 2. Iesus (Jesus) Hominum Salvator - Latin, Jesus Savior of Man, commonly used by St. Bernadine of Siena in the 14th century 3. In Hac Salus - Latin, Safety in this cross 4. In Hoc Signo (Vinces) - in this sign you will conquer from Constantine's victory prayer in 313 5. And in English, "I have suffered."

Answer 6

It is a latin monogram translation of the greek letters that symbolised the name Jesus Christ. Some people mistakenly thing it means Jesus Christ Saviour - but it doesn't. It is very simply a representation ofthe name Jesus Christ in monogram form.
