1 | What does "I N R I" mean? | John 19:19 | Makarios | 15051 | ||
I own a small print of Grunewald's (German 1465-1528) painting, "The Small Crucifixion" (1505), that depicts Christ on the Cross and three weeping and praying individuals at the foot of His cross (John, Mary and Mary?). However, at the top of the cross just above Jesus' head, the painting depicts a sign above His head that simply states the letters "I N R I". My question is: What do these Latin? or Roman? letters "I N R I" stand for and what is their meaning? You can see a small picture of this print at http://www.allposters.com, which contains many religious prints of famous paintings, including the original "The Last Supper", which I also own. |

4 | What does "I N R I" mean? | John 19:19 | Makarios | 15059 | ||
Thank you RCSCROLL! I looked this verse (John 19:19) up in the Latin Vulgate and found it! (Latin Vulgate) "scripsit autem et titulum Pilatus et posuit super crucem erat autem scriptum Iesus Nazarenus rex Iudaeorum" John 19:19, and sure enough, it is translated as (I)esus (N)azarenus (r)ex (I)udaeorum in Latin! I've learned something new today. :) Thank you! --Nolan |
