IHS 

The IHS design is inspired by the monogram of Jesus. The phrase “IHS” dates back to the early centuries of Christianity and comes from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus, which is "ΙΗΣΟΥΣ". 

“IHS” is commonly found in Catholic liturgical settings, such as on altar cloths, vestments, and sacred vessels. The phrase serves as a reminder of the centrality of Jesus in the Mass and Catholicism.

Liturgical Colors

Liturgical colors have a central role in the life and rhythm of the Catholic Church. Each color is rich in meaning, adding to the depth of the liturgy and our faith.

• Blue is not an official liturgical color in the Roman Catholic Church but is used in some cultures or traditions, especially in Mexican culture. It can symbolize the Blessed Virgin Mary, as she is often associated with the color blue. Additionally, Maronite Catholics (an Eastern Rite), use the color blue during the Season of Announcement, which is similar to the season of Advent for Roman Catholics.

• Black is a less common liturgical color today and is used for All Souls' Day and for funeral Masses. It symbolizes mourning, sorrow, and the hope of resurrection.
