Inri Crucifix
May 13th, 2010
Why would you include INRI on crucifixes, when it was clearly meant to mock Jesus?
For those who don’t know, INRI is an abbreviation for IESVS·NAZARENVS·REX·IVDÆORVM, a Latin Phrase meaning “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”. Pilate’s men put it on Jesus’ cross to mock him, sort of a “look at your king now.”
Given that it was intended to mock him, isn’t it a slap in the face to your God to include it in modern representations?
(In some Orthodox Churches, it’s INBI, for the Greek version of it. Or INBK, or INBΔ, but it’s all roughly the same, and the intent was the same: Mock Jesus.)
Or is it about spite? “You mocked him, but he had the last laugh” sort of thing?
I always took it to mean:
