Stolon embroidery

The main embroidery on the stolon is the JHS symbol. JHS is a modern adaptation of the Latin IHS which in turn comes from the abbreviation of the name of Jesus in capital Greek letters: IHCOUC. The expression is made up of the Greek letter iota (I: our Latin i, is written the same), eta (which is written in capital letters like our H: it is transcribed and pronounced e) and C which, due to its resemblance, becomes sigma ( ς) (our s).
It is believed that it was San Bernardino de Siena who, in the 14th century, gave the name greater meaning to each letter by turning each one into the initials of a phrase: Iesus (or Jesus today) Hominum Salvator, which most experts coincide in translating as Jesus Savior of Men.
