This is really interesting, Thank you. I have a picture of a grave with a symbol that looks like either INS or IHS, I'm trying to find out what it means, but not much lucks o far. Anyway, I'm enjoying learning about the motifs.

Hi Katrina,
We have a photo of the same insignia on a grave but have yet to find proof positive of the meaning. We think it is a Catholic symbol. I'll post it in a few days and see if anyone knows
