"In Hoc Signo," meaning "In this sign."

thanks, you are right. i looked this up on internet and found this. this is latin transparent translation of an ancient greek phrase meaning "in this sign you will conquer."

There are several possibilities for this inscription. IHS might stand for "In Hoc Signo," meaning "In this sign." This explanation is taken from the dream of the Cross that Constantine had before his battle with Maxentius in 312. After his dream, Constantine had his soldiers inscribe crosses and this motto on their shields. In this sign they conquered and went on to victory, ensuring freedom for Christians. Or so the story goes.
IF Constantine used this inscription at all (which, frankly, seems a bit too romantic and far-fetched for me), it was probably appropriated from the Greek phrase "Iesus Hemeteros Soter," meaning "Jesus our Savior."This phrase was used by Christian communities on mosaics, frescoes, and graves beginning early in the 2nd century.

The Latin version of this Greek phrase "Iesus Hominum Salvator" (Jesus Savior of Humankind) is closely related, and was also used on early Christian monuments.

A final possibility is that IHS stands for "In Hoc Salus," meaning "In this is salvation." This explanation, which first surfaced in the 6th century, would have been a reference to sharing in the Eucharistic meal. Which is why IHS so frequently appeared on vestments, altarcloths, etc...
