The symbols on the paraments and a number of other symbols recur in our sanctuary.

The letters IHS are and abbreviation of Jesus name in Greek (the original language of the New Testament). They are also the initials for Jesus Savior of Humanity in Latin (the language the Church inherited from the Roman Empire).
