The full name in Greek is ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, in the Latin alphabet the letter Σ(sigma) is represented as an “S,” thus IHS. Devotion to the holy name of Jesus was promoted through the IHS monogram by St. Bernardine of Siena and his student St. John of Capistrano in the 15th century. In 1427 Pope Martin V approved veneration of this symbol. 100 years later, Saint Ignatius adopted this symbol to represent the Society of Jesus. https://canningliturgicalarts.com/blog/signs-symbols-the-holy-name-of-jesus/ 3/6 3/12/2020 Signs & Symbols: The Holy Name of Jesus | Canning Liturgical Arts Signs & Symbols The “IHS” monogram is seen here at the bottom of a beautiful illuminated manuscript from Northern Italy dating back to the late 15th century.
