The S and Z symbolize Spiritus Sanctus for being the first latin letter of Spiritus.
It is third person of the Trinity.
The S
is a sign that appears by first time in Spain in the Chrismon of Jaca Cathedral converting the Christological Chrismon in the Trinitarian: P is Pater, X Filius and S Spiritus. The Chrismon of Jaca Cathedral has on his ring a latin inscription that reads: "In this sculpture recognizes, reader, the following: P designates the Father, A the begotten, and double (letter) the Spirit begetter, the three are indeed one and the same Lord".
