    It's a link. You click on it. There's enough "making stuff up" going on as is. 

    You could also go straight to the horse's mouth, but trusting imposters is ill advised.

    If you'd like a block of training on "google fu", let me know; happy to help.

    IHS= the first three initials of the Holy name JESUS. They are greek letters: Iota, Eta, Sigma. The confusion is the capital letter Eta: it is "H" in its capital form, "e" in lower case.
    If the holy name were abbreviated in lower case letters you would see "ies". There was(is) no "J" in Greek or Roman alphabets so "i" was what was used to get the sound we say in latin when the "i" is followed by the letter "e". This diphthong (ie) sounds like a "y"--Yesus. Hope I did not cause confusion.

    • It could also mean "In Hoc Signo." As in "In hoc signo vinces." That would be in reference to the Cross, as in in htis sign you will conquer.

    No. The second letter is not an H, as we have it in our alphabet. Looks like our H but it is an E. It cannot mean what you wrote above.
