[edit] Summary

A medieval-style version of the IHC (or JHC) monogram of the name of Jesus (i.e. the traditional Christogram symbol of western Christianity), derived from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus, Iota-Eta-Sigma (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ), with the Greek letter sigma equated to Latin-alphabet "C" due to the common "lunate" form of sigma (i.e. IHCOYC).

For a medieval-style IHS (JHS) monogram (alternative sigma="S" version), see Image:IHS-monogram-Jesus-medievalesque.png .
