What the sign for on calvary?

The sign on Calvary, often referred to as the inscription placed above Jesus during his crucifixion, read "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" (INRI in Latin). This sign was meant to indicate the charge against him and to mock his claim to kingship. It served both as a declaration of his identity and a political statement by the Roman authorities. The inscription is significant in Christian tradition, symbolizing Jesus' role as the Messiah and the fulfillment of prophecy.
