In Orthodox Christianity, IC XC is a sacred abbreviation that represents Jesus Christ. It comes from the Greek name of Jesus Christ:

• ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (Iēsous) = Jesus
• ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (Christos) = Christ (the Anointed One)

Orthodox tradition takes the first and last letters of each word:

• ΙΣ → IC (Jesus)
• ΧΣ → XC (Christ)

So: IC XC = Jesus Christ

IC XC NIKA means:

“Jesus Christ Conquers” or “Jesus Christ is Victorious”
