The IHS symbol is a popular Christological monogram. Originally the IHS abbreviation came from the Greek abbreviation of the name of Jesus (ΞΞΞ£ΞΞ₯Ξ£ shortened to ΞΞΞ£). The Greek letter sigma (the funny looking E) in Latin is "S", thus forming the IHS monogram.
Throughout the centuries this monogram has taken on different meanings, including "Jesus Hominum Salvator", "In Hoc Signo", and others.
In 1541 Saint Ignatius adopted the monogram as one of the main symbols for the Jesuits. However, history teaches us that the IHS symbol is not specifically Jesuit. Rather, IHS is a well known symbol for Jesus.
With this classic symbol as inspiration, I took many titles and understandings of Jesus to prayer. From that prayer and reflection came the entire IHS sticker series.
This sticker in particular celebrates Jesus' role as the True Vine (see John 15). John 15 is such a beautiful chapter to reflect on as we strive to stay close to Christ. With that chapter in mind, the vibrant green vine is also the letters IHS, which wraps itself around the cross, clinging to Christ all the while.Β
