What does INRI mean in LATIN

INRI stands for Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaedorum, which means Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews.

The phrase was in use by early Christians as a sign of recognition in secret gatherings. It is mentioned in the New Testament (John 19:19-20).

Yes, it is still used today primarily by Christian denominations. It is sometimes inscribed on crosses and crucifixes as a symbol of Christ's death and resurrection.

Commonly, this phrase appears alongside another well-known symbol, the chi-rho monogram—a combination of two Greek letters (chi and rho) that form X and P when overlapped. Together they signify "Christ."

Jesus of Nazareth was a Jewish teacher who lived during the 1st century CE and preached a message about God’s kingdom to his followers. He is commonly known as Jesus Christ and regarded as the founder of Christianity.

In Biblical times, people who were known as kings would have held spiritual authority over their people - specifically those within their own religion or community. Being known as “King of Jews” would have implied that Jesus was seen to be a leader for all those following Judaism at his time.

The phrase has been interpreted differently throughout history depending on context and location - by Christians generally it is seen as a signifier for Jesus’s mission, suffering, death and resurrection; while historically some groups have viewed it more literally taking it to mean seeking political independence from Rome or foreign rulership over their nations.

Generally there isn't one definitive way that people write out INRI; each person may stylize this acronym through capitalization or punctuation differently than others. Still, most commonly all four letters are capitalized when written out and no punctuation marks are included between them.
