Acronyms in the Church are abundant, some having been handed down over the course of time. While it helps us remember some of the Church's Tradition, it could also confuse us. Here's a collection of acronyms and what they mean.
(Note: this is not meant to give historical background, but simply what each acronym stands for.)
IHS
The anglicised rendering of the first three Greek letters in Jesus' name, Iesous Christos.
INRI
Iesus Nazaraenus Rex Iudaeorum (Latin), which translates literally to "Jesus Christ, King of the Jews".
See Mt 27:37, Mk 15:26, Lk 23:38, Jn 19:19
