The Christogram on the access Door

Above the door, even a consideration of Attigliano linked double-edged with the Papal State, there is the Christogram symbol which was widespread in our territory thanks to the passage of San bernardino from Siena, patron of Montecchio where he preached in the firsts years of the XV century. 

IHS, in greek, are the first letters of the name of Jesus (IHΣ) and the symbol in the years had been different readings: 

  • In Hoc Signo (vinces) – like the Constantinian tradition “Under this sign  you’ll win”  
  • Iesus Hominum Salvator – “Jesus Savior of People”.
