Eleanor - IHS is a contraction of the Greek for Jesus , Iesous Christos. Other versions of the same are IC and XC which are seen on icon paintings. Sometimes you may see I.H.S. which is a later corrupt Latin transliteration "Iesus Hominum Salvator" meaning Jesus Saviour of Mankind. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 5:09 AM Subject: [IRL~CEMS] Re: Letters I H S - Meaning Please? > I knew R I P from Latin in schooldays sixty years ago but can someone help > please with the I H S centered at the top of a gravestone I have > photographed?

Yes IHS is a monogram for "Jesus". "INRI" which you sometimes see on crucifixes are the Latin initials for "Jesus of Nazereth King (Rex) of the Jews".

I'm not sure, but I believe the initials INRI stood for Jesus - King of the Jews. That's what I remember learning, and that's what is on my crucifix. Don't know what IHS could be. Mary

How about "Irish Historical Society", not sure really, just a guess.

I always understood the IHS to be the name "Jesus." There is a tradition that it was part of the inscription the Romans placed above the cross of Jesus when he was crucified: Jesus of Nazareth--King of the Jews. It is often lettered on the tombstones of Christians as a sign of their belief in Christ and His resurrection.

Could anyone tell me what cemeteries are around Milltown Malbay Co. Clare Ireland. I am looking for a grave site for a Patrick TORPEY, I don't have a death date on him. All I know is when his wife and sons came over to the United States around 1865, she was already widowed. His wife, Bridget Casey TORPEY born in 1815 and died in Iowa or Illinois. She is buried in Illinois, but, from dates we have she must of died in Iowa, (but, don't have a county, so we can't look for death certificate in Iowa and there is none in Illinois) and then 2 sons brought her to Illinois and buried her there where they ended up making a home. They are also buried with her. If anyone has any information on cemeteries near Milltown Malbay, please let me know. I sure appreciate. Thanks, Marcia
