The Cross is a sacred emblem of the Christian faith. IHS (no
periods) is supposed to be the three letters representing the Saviour's name in
Latin. No wonder John Wycliffe spelled his name starting with IH which
stands for YaH as in HalleluYaH. IHS is also used as the emblem of the
Jesuit order.- World Book Dictionary.
IHS is purely of Latin origin standing for Latin abbreviations.
