The Nails on Jesus’ Cross
There is an old song that speak of the three rusty nails that were used to crucify Christ on the cross. The first verse of that hymn begins as follows:
Three Rusted Nails
Two thousand years ago you sent your son
You wanted us to understand
That who so ever would believe in him
Would be safe in his hands
(Chorus)
With three rusty nails and an old dogwood tree
The sacrifice was made for you and me
We were afraid to say that he was the one
What have we done to your son
Now, those three rusty nails that were used to crucify Christ is available for sale on eBay. Anyone interested in having that treasure of antiquity can have it by paying 10,000 euros. Below is a picture of the three rusty nails. However, if you are planning the buy the authentic nails used to crucify Christ, you better hurry up, I believe there are only a few sets left.

Glad to know if I'm ever hard up for money I can sell those splinters of the True Cross I've been keeping up in my attic. ;-)
Still no bidders, so you might get them for the bargain minimum bid price of 500 euros!
D. P.,
Maybe you and I can do some business together. How about exchanging your splinters for some of the thorns taken from the real crown which I have kept in my office for years?

Peter,
I think I will not buy those nails at that price. D. P. in his comments above, said that he has some splinters from the True Cross. Maybe I will consider doing business with him.

I dunno, Claude. They've been in the family for generations. Still, we had to sell off our thorns from the Crown during the Depression and it would be nice to have some again. Maybe we could work out some kind of deal.
D. P.,
Do you think our readers will think we are crazy?
