Third Class Relic Holy Nail of Our Lord individually numbered with a Certificate of Authenticity! Crucifixion Nail replica.

This square cut spike nail has an antiqued finish and is similar to what was used during the Crucifixion of Our Lord. It was touched to an authentic piece (relic) of the Holy Nail to make it a third class relic.

The nail is approximately 8 inches long and is individually numbered with a COA.

A great gift idea and powerful reminder when meditating on the Passion of Our Lord.

Each nail has a unique patina to give them a slightly aged appearance. The nails can be oil rubbed, buffed to a shine, or left outside in moisture to increase the aged appearance.

Crucifixion nails are believed to have been 6 to 8 inches long. After the Crucifixion of Our Lord, the instruments of His Passion were hidden by devoted followers. A few hundred years later St Helena, mother of emperor Constantine made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with the intent of bring Holy Relics back to Rome. She was successful having found the True Cross and Holy Nails among other important relics. These were brought back to Rome and to this day many remain in her palace which was transformed in to the Basilica Santa Croce.

The Holy Nail at Santa Croce had parts of it break off hundreds of years ago and a metal cap was put on it to protect it. Those pieces were used to issue authentic relics around the world for the purposes of veneration and increasing devotion to Our Lord. The abbots of the Basilica also issued third class relic replicas in the 1800s and early 1900s. Like this item they were touched to the Holy Nail making them a third class relic, but those are sometimes confused as first class relics of the Holy Nail.

About Relics: From the earliest days of Christianity, relics have been venerated by the faithful. This included items associated with Jesus as well as bones, clothing, and others items left behind by martyrs and holy men and women of the faith. We are reminded of the beautiful passage in the Gospels of the miracle of the bleeding woman who was healed by the touching of Jesus' cloak and her faith, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed" (Matthew 9:21).

About DNJC.org: DNJC.org is a ministry dedicated to spreading the Good News of Our Lord Jesus Christ and espousing the virtues of veneration of the relics of Our Lord and the Saints. We believe one of the best ways of doing this is making the relics available for public veneration and through the distribution of Third Class Relics at little to no charge.

May God Bless You!
