What does this inscription mean?


Of course most Orthodox people know, IC XC NIKA means “Jesus Christ Conquers”.

Sin Bozhie = Son of God.

Tsar Slavie = King of Glory.

K T = Kopie and Trost, which means “Spear and Reed”

M L R B = Mesto Lobnoye Raj Byst’, which means “The place of the skull became paradise.”

G A = Golova Adam, which means “The Head (or Skull) of Adam”.

 

With a special thank you to Fr. John Whiteford’s blog, and a hat tip to Byzantine, TX!
